Demon loves chicken baby food but I find he likes it less when its mixed with his mashed kibbles  Is it ok to give him only a jar of chicken baby food per day ? Johnny doesn't like it at all  He likes dry all the way .. |

Yup ;D
You could try encouraging Johnny to eat it by warming it a bit and then putting a dab on his mouth with your finger. If you do that a couple of times he will eventually start to lick it off your finger.
Its good to get ferrets used to food like chicken baby food or Hills Prescription A/D while they are healthy because they may someday really need it if they get sick; or are convalescing from surgery.

I've tried warming it up a little but Johnny did not like. They both like it at "room temperature". My boyfriend found Johnny's problem  lol The kid only wants to eat the mixture from our fingers I would like him to eat it by himself like Demon does .. but at least he eats it |

I've had ferrets who would only eat their duk soup off my finger when ill. Not an issue when they are healthy but if its the only way they'll eat - you gotta do it  Its much, much safer than syringe feeding, which can be aspirated. At least he is eating it. Eventually he may eat it on his own, some do, some only prefer mama's or dad's fingers. It is a way to bond as well with your fuzzbutt. Tressie |
