Categories     < 15 Mins

Time 10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (8 ounce) can ready-to-use infant formula (High Protein kind) or 1 (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

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.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality duck meat: Opt for fresh or frozen duck meat that is free from any signs of spoilage or freezer burn. Look for meat that is a deep red color and has a firm texture.
  • Remove the duck's skin and fat: Before cooking the duck, remove the skin and excess fat to reduce the soup's overall fat content. This will also make the soup easier to digest for ferrets.
  • Simmer the duck meat slowly: To ensure that the duck meat is cooked thoroughly and tender, simmer it over low heat for at least 1-2 hours. This will also allow the flavors to develop and deepen.
  • Add vegetables and herbs: To enhance the flavor of the soup, add a variety of vegetables and herbs such as carrots, celery, onions, garlic, parsley, and thyme. These ingredients will provide essential nutrients and antioxidants to the soup.
  • Use a ferret-safe broth: When making the soup, use a ferret-safe broth such as chicken or beef broth. Avoid using broths that contain onions, garlic, or other ingredients that are toxic to ferrets.

Conclusion:

Duck soup is a nutritious and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed by ferrets of all ages. By following these tips and using ferret-safe ingredients, you can prepare a delicious and healthy soup that your ferret will love. Remember to introduce the soup gradually to your ferret's diet and monitor them closely for any signs of digestive upset.
