|  | | Bob Church's Chicken Gravy | | Home > Duck Soup & Chicken Gravy Recipes > Bob Church's Chicken Gravy | | 1 whole roasting chicken (cut into pieces to fit in the blender; do not remove skin, fat, bones or giblets -small pieces puree better)
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 Tablespoon FerretTone (or whatever vitamin supplement you use)
1 Cup ferret, mink or high-grade cat kibble
2 Tablespoons fine bran OR whole oats OR Metamucil
1 Tube Nutri-cal
3 or 4 eggshells
4 Tablespoons honey
1 Cup fat trimmings (uncooked; I save trimmed fat for just this purpose)
Puree the chicken with the fat, kibble and eggshells; add water until you make a thin gravy. Pour the mix into a pot and cook for 30 minutes, or until it has the consistency of cream or thick gravy. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Now, here's the hard part. Put one cup of chicken gravy into a ziploc, push out the air, and set aside. Repeat this process until all the gravy has been portioned out, then dump the ziplocs into a container to store in the freezer. Ha! Not hard at all, especially after all the grinding has been done.

Most other meat is good. Chicken is often the easiest to give ferrets since many kibbles are chicken based and they might have an easier time recognizing the taste. Not all ferrets take to meat immediately, especially if they're over 6 months old, but keep trying. Some prefer raw meat, some cooked, some fried. Don't give spiced meat from your own plate, but rather the unprepared meat, and include some fat as well... |
