Easy Chicken Goop
In a slow cooker with distilled water, cook your chicken/or/turkey pieces. (Lamb is also a good choice, but chicken is easier to digest) Use an oven if a slow cooker is not available. Leave skin and all fat on the pieces.

In a blender, pulverize a good quality ferret food (Totally Ferret or similar...)

When meat is cooked, puree it in the blender with the water (using all the skin & fat). Keep the consistency like a thin soup, add water as needed.

Mix this with the ground kibble and pour into ice cube trays for freezing (or small tupperware containers)

For serving, remove several cubes and keep in the fridge. Take out enough cubes for about four days feeding. About 2 tablespoons every four hours if the ferret is losing weight.

To feed, heat the mixture slightly in the microwave (9 secs.) Stir well and finger test to be sure it has no 'hot spots' which could cause injury.

Add about an inch of FerretVite (Nutri-Cal) and about a tsp. of FerretTone (Linatone).

Use a small plate to serve, and at first dip your finger into the mix and let the ferret lick it off. (It may take a while for them to get used to this mixture.)

You can also add some whipping cream, or Sustacal to sweeten it for eating. (be careful of Insul. ferrets)

This is a good mash for fattening up, it also helps ferrets take medications, which can be easily mixed into the chicken goop. Add some Pedialyte to their drinking water for electrolyte replacement.
