Magellan's Soup (from Carla A.):
-
1 2.5 ounce jar Gerber's Bananas (1st Foods)
-
1 2.5 ounce jar Heinz Chicken, Turkey, or Lamb (make sure the baby food has no onion, garlic, or celery, which spoils the flavor for ferrets)
-
2 rounded Tablespoons Gerber's Rice Cereal for Baby
-
1 rounded Tablespoon Ensure Supplement Powder for humans (or use the liquid Ensure)
-
1 5.5 ounce can Hill's Prescription Diet Feline/Canine A/D
-
Water
Blend all and add water to desired consistency. Serve warm. Requires refrigeration. Use within 48 hours. Magellan (a > 4 pound male) ate this amount in 2 days. This recipe is very palatable to ferrets with stomach problems.
Mathis Ferret Soup (from Christine M.):
Put in blender and mix until smooth. Serve warm. Requires refrigeration. This consistency works well when force feeding. Gradually thicken the recipe (add less chicken broth) as the ferret begins to eat on its own. Return to the ferret's regular diet gradually. This recipe has saved many ferret lives.
A/D Soup:
Blend A/D with water to desired consistency. Serve warm. Requires refrigeration. A/D liquefies so this formula works very well in a syringe.
Duck Soup (from Ann D., LIFE):
-
1 can Sustacal (8 ounces; it comes in a larger size too)
-
1 can water (8 ounces)
-
2 scoops puppy or kitten weaning formula - optional
-
4 ounces dry kitten or ferret food, soaked in enough water to cover and soften it completely
Mix thoroughly. We always nuke it for them to the temperature of baby formula. We serve about 4 fluid ounces at a time twice a day for maintenance; if your little guys eat too much and you feel they are getting fat, you can increase the amount of water. We have tried increasing the amount of dry food, but if it gets too thick some of them won't eat it. This formula also freezes well -- the Sustacal must be used within 48 hours if left only in the fridge.

You can cook the rice and the chicken in the same pan. One cup of rice, 2 cups of water, I cut up the chicken breast before cooking it, them finely mince it in a food processor. Can substitute ground beef. Can also be cooked with the rice. Gatorade mixed with broth or Pedialite works.
