Recipe by Phyllis Smith (Sissy)

INGREDIENTS

1 cup Ground Totally Ferret
1 cup Warm Water
1 jar Chicken Baby Food, Stage 2
1/2 tsp. Brewers Yeast
1 200 mg. Chromium Chelated or 2 tsp. GIF Chromium
6 Papaya tablets
1 tsp. Lecithin Granules
1 400 mg Vitamin E capsule
1/2 tsp. Ferretone
1 tsp. Ferretvite
1 1/2 tsp. Timmy's Tonic

PREPARATION

I mix everything in the water except the ground Totally Ferret and baby food in a blender. I then gradually add the Totally Ferret until completely mixed and then add the chicken baby food.

STORAGE

You can make it into ice cubs and freeze but since I go through a double batch every three days, I just put it into a plastic container and keep it refrigerated. I do freeze some in baby food jars in case I run out. Since there is no Ensure or the like or Pediapred, you don't need to freeze it unless it will last more than 3 or 4 days. A single recipe should last an average ferret about 3 days.

SERVING

First heat it for about 10 - 15 seconds depending on your microwave. Faith likes hers on the warm side. I feed them between 1/2 to 3/4 a baby food jar or 1 heaping tsp. of the refrigerated soup or what ever they eat. I feed Faith every 6 hours, but some need to eat more often, especially if the only eat a small amount. I feed Faith and then I feed Hope and then I go back to Faith. Some ferrets can eat only a little bit, so you need to let them rest a few moments and they will eat some more.
