Best Ferret Duck Soup Recipes

DUCK SOUP (FOR FERRETS)

Steps:

• Soak dry food in 1/2 cup water and soften it completely.
• When dry food is soft, mash with a fork and mix all ingredients in a 2 quart jar and shake thouroughly. Sometimes I microwave it to the temperature of baby formula.
• Serve about 4 fluid ounces at a time twice daily for maintenance.
• If your little guys are eating too much and you feel they are getting fat, you can increase the amount of water. I 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 as the Sustacal must be used within 48 hours if left only in the fridge.
