Uncle Jim's Duk Soup Mix (4.5 oz) — Ferret Nutritional Supplement
Product description
Uncle Jim's Duk Soup Mix is a powdered dietary supplement supplied in a 4.5 oz container intended for ferrets and also palatable to many cats. The mix is duck-flavored and made from primarily natural ingredients designed to be nutrient-dense and easy to digest.
The package contains a dry powder that can be reconstituted with warm water into a paste of adjustable thickness or stirred to a thinner liquid, depending on the animal's needs. It’s commonly used to stimulate appetite in picky eaters, encourage weight gain in convalescing pets, and provide supplementary calories and nutrients during recovery.
Owners use it as a treat, a meal topper, or a medication vehicle since it can conceal tastes well when formed into a paste. The powder stores dry for long shelf life and is intended to be mixed fresh as needed to feed directly or to entice an ill or off-food ferret.
Pros
- Stimulates appetite and encourages weight gain
- Easy to mix to paste or liquid consistency
- Useful for concealing medication
Cons
- Very strong odor some find unpleasant
- Ingredient concerns reported by some owners
- Batch-to-batch palatability can vary

Great for picky eaters
My ferrets really took to this. One was hesitant at first but after a few tries she now devours it. I like that it adds extra nutrients for my picky ones.

Useful in a recovery mix
I mix this with egg and fish oil to make a recovery cocktail when needed. It blends well and the ferrets take it readily.

Ferret-approved, strong smell
My ferrets go nuts for it and even the cats are interested. The scent is extremely strong so I'm not a fan of that, and I've heard concerns about digestive reactions, though my ferrets handled it fine. It's quick and easy to prepare.

Variable batches, ingredient worries
I used to buy this often but noticed each bag could taste a bit different, so getting consistent acceptance was hit or miss. After checking the ingredients I decided to switch to another option.

Works for sick ferrets
Very effective for ferrets that are ill. I’ve never had trouble getting them to eat this during recovery.

Tasty but watch import fees
One of my ferrets loved the taste. The only downside was shipping it to Sweden — I had to pay about 75 kr in customs unexpectedly.

Reliable recovery supplement
This powdered mix is ideal for building up a ferret after surgery or illness. I mix with warm water to the desired thickness and every ferret I’ve had liked it. It also hides meds well and keeps a long time when dry. Worth having on hand.

Enfin trouvé !
Produit recommandé dans les forums NAC, je l’alterne avec Carnivore Care pour éviter la perte de poids chez les furets âgés ou convalescents. Tous mes furets aiment le goût dilué dans un peu d’eau, et la livraison a été rapide malgré l’expédition. Bon vendeur, à recommander.

Helped my ferret recover
After moving and losing the food she liked, my ferret stopped eating and lost a lot of weight. We needed vet visits for hydration. I researched supplements, ordered this mix and, after some persistence when she first refused it, it became a key part of her return to health.

Good option for sick ferrets
When my senior ferret became ill and his companion stopped eating out of stress, this mix helped encourage him to eat again. I added it to his routine after reading about its appetite benefits and found it simple to prepare and feed during recovery.
