Help! My ferrets are picky and don’t to try the Dook Soup or treats.
Not to fret, you are in good company. Ferrets are notoriously picky when it comes to new foods. Below are some tips/tricks to help your floof adjust to the new and excited flavors of healthy and yummy Pampered Ferret products. 

(1) Mix New/Existing Foods into a Soupie: Mix the Dook Soup (or treats) in with a blended up mixture of their current food. If your ferret currently eats a dry kibble, mix the kibble in warm water, add some Dook Soup, and blend so they get used to the flavor. You can adjust the proportions to include more Dook Soup (or treats) over time as you needed.
(2) Small Spoons and/or your Finger!: Make a small batch of Dook Soup in a bowl and then use a small spoon or your finger to feed them. We’ve had great luck with many a Woozel using this trick.
(3) Add Some Salmon Oil: If they like salmon oil, you can put a few drops on top of the food to entice them. You can also try a bit of our coat oil. It is 100% safe to ingest and some floofs go crazy for it!
(4) The "boop-snoot" method: Take some of the prepared Dook Soup, or the mixture from #1, and boop it on their nose forcing them to lick it off. Once they get a taste of it almost ALL weasels come to LOVE the Dook Soup!
