Hello,

I had a similar problem with one of my ferrets. The only solution we came up with was feeding chicken baby food via oral syringe. We talked to our vet first who advised us how to do it. You may want to investigate a simialr option with your vet.

My ferrets won't eat ANY people food, no matter what it is. No chicken
gravy, no meat baby food. They turn up their noses to anything that is not
Marshall Ferret food or Pretty Pets ferret food. (Although once they got
into some chocolate!) So my question is, how to I get them to eat the
"emergency foods" for when they are ill? I've tried mixing ferret food with
the meats, and they just leave them both alone. Heating the food doesn't
work; putting it on my finger and getting them to lick it off doesn't work.
Help!
