Bob Church's Chicken Gravy 
                                                    
                                                    

I Chose this recipe 6 year's ago when our 2 year old polecat hob got an
apses and lost a lot of weight, even after the tooth was remove he refused to eat, I found this recipe, made it, saved Fidget and have used it ever since, it helped Fidget again 3 years ago when he got an Adrenal tumour by keeping his weight up before his operation, he got his fur back and was fine, as he got older I gave him his chicken gravy every day, we lost him in 2006 with renal failure when he was eight years old.

We use chicken gravy at the rescue for sick ferrets and the older ferrets
get it every day, it has saved lots of ferrets lives and we have a supply in
the freezer always, some people make it without the bones, but I like to use
them, to date they haven't destroyed my hand grinder, its the same one I
bought 6 year's ago the only thing I miss out is the fat with the closure of
all our local butchers you just can't get it

If you use the gravy, most ferrets like it, but not all, Fidget didn't, it took
me forcing him to eat 100 cubes before he would eat it on his own, it was
chicken gravy or death I chose the gravy, death was unacceptable.

How to make bob's chicken gravy

Take the chicken and fat trimmings (If used) and cut it up into small pieces and put everything through the mincer, then put the mince into the large pot with some water, cook it over a high heat stirring constantly until cooked, strain the mince saving the juice to use when blending, start by putting chicken in the blender bit by bit adding juice for consistency and a few biscuits, plus the eggshells, you can make it smooth or lumpy I make it to the consistency of a milk shake, keep blending untill all the chicken is used putting it into a large bowl, Let mixture cool and add rest of ingredients and whisk well, load it into ice cube trays and freeze, remove from trays and put into containers, when wanted zap in microwave add water for desired consistency.
