Novasource is now renamed Resource.
I had to buy some Traumacal to keep some ferrets gaining weight but it is my understanding that any high-carb drink containing sugar is bad for the ferret....
I used to use Deliver 2.0 and they changed it to Resource or something like that. It changed because now it is sugary.
It is hard to find something suitable for ferrets anymore that is also used for humans. I am sure someone on this list knows the brand name for the Carnivore drink. It is expensive but so is Traumacal ($53 for a case of 24). But Traumacal was used simply to keep ferrets that were very, very sick at the rescue from going underweight temporarily. A last ditch supplement.
http://www.novartisnutrition.com/us/productDetail?id=674&source=summary This shows all the human made drinks from the major brand. I have had trouble finding ANY that are suitable for long term sustenance for ferrets. But that search would of course start by choosing the Glucose-Free link on the right hand side. I can't remember why I chose Traumacal over Isocal.
