If ferrets sick, they might not want to go to all the work of eating their dry food or meat ribs apart. Older ferrets may have bad teeth and dry food might be too much to eat on the ground. So, they feed Duck Soup.
What is duck soup?
First duck soup does not usually duck it. As the story goes, a ferret named Lucky Ducky was sick and fed him his people "Soup" while he got better. Since each additional mushy food is duck soup called.
When should you feed your ferret duck soup?
It's okay, most species of duck soup to give your ferret as a treat. It is even a good idea, something to him when he is healthy, he will get used to it and does not mind if he actually needed.
In addition, you should eat this concoction to your fuzzy when he is sick and has stopped eating or when he is old and not enough to eat.
Where do you get duck soup?
You can buy something at the pet store called Duck Soup. I've never tried. it. Most people I know make their own soup for their fuzzies. Most people seem to have their own recipes. Here are some of them.
Chicken baby food
Gerber chicken baby food is easy to digest and a good meal for a fuzzy. Most ferrets lick it up without too much coaxing. Chicken baby food has the advantage that it comes in small doses, so not a whole lot at once go bad. Once you open the jar, but you have to store it in the refrigerator.
The dry food diversity
Put your ferret dry food in a coffee grinder (or blender) and pulverize it. Put your kibble powder in a tightly closed container. When its time you fed your Wiesel, put a little dry food in a bowl and add enough water to hydrate it. You can even microwave for a few seconds if you want. The advantages of this type of duck soup is that you do not change food on the ferret, and you can make as small an amount as you need without waste. I use this kind of duck soup when I travel with a sick ferrets, because it is beautiful and portable.
The sweet kind
If you are having problems with the ferret to eat desire this might be the way to go. Take 1 glass of chicken baby food and to ensure one container. Put it in a sealed container and shake the mixture. This mixture is sweet and almost every ferrets love to eat. The disadvantages of this soup is that the mixture is not a whole lot of sugar which you are certainly there, and the mixture is no longer than a few days.
A more traditional soup
Take a chicken. Keep it in a huge pot with water. Cook for a long time. Finally, the skin and meat is falling off the bone. Turn off the heat. Pick the bones out of the mix. Get a blender and blend the mixture. (..., You can use this stuff in a blender, but every time I tried that I've finished with boiling soup on my face It hurts blender are good) Once the mixture is blended, pour it into ice - cube trays and freeze. If you need to feed your fuzzy, take a cube and microwave it. Mix it and feed your ferret.
Other things to consider, could add to the soup before you freeze it a little olive oil or dry food soil.
Like I said, there are tons of recipes for duck soup. If one does not work, try another....
