Duck Soup (For Ferrets)
- 1 (8 ounce) can ready-to-use infant formula (High Protein kind) or (8 ounce) can vanilla ensure (High Protein kind)
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 cup cat food or 1/2 cup ferret food, dry
- 1/2 cup powdered milk
- 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.
