New Baby Ferret Wont Eat

Question
I had wrote earlier about getting a new friend for my grieving ferret Kiba. He seems to like her quite a bit and is eating more and seems more content. However I'm having issues with the new baby girl Daisy. She's 5-6 months old and I got her from Petco. I wanted to adopt from a shelter but I couldn't find one that catered to ferrets for the life of me.

Anyway, she's very sweet and she plays with my boy Kiba but she's been refusing to eat. At first, we hadn't thought of getting the food they feed them at the store. So we went and got her the food they feed them. She still refuses. So I wet them down and she doesn't want to really eat it out of my hand but she sort of licked it. When I put it in the cage with her, she went back to bed and hadn't eaten any even though I'm sure she's hungry.

I've only seen her drink a little out of the cat water dish and then decided to snorkel when she's let out but only seems to marvel at the water bottle, unless she's drinking from it when I haven't seen. The water part doesn't make much sense to me since Petco ferrets are in a cage with a water bottle and not a bowl.

I'm at my wits end and I'm running low on money. The nearest pet store that caters to ferrets is 30 mins-45 mins away so I can't afford to keep burning gas. I sort of doubt she's sick since she's so active and bright.

Could part of it be she's too excited? If the moistened food isn't missing or I don't see her eat it, what else can I try? I've only had three ferrets, four now including Daisy, but my other three have never been so picky.

I really need some help. It's been a stressful week and this is only one more thing that's close to putting me to tears.

Thank you ahead of time for your time and help.

Answer
I can try to offer some suggestions, but the first one includes heading to a vet for a check-up.  Since you got her from a pet store she could be ill.  Try online for "duck soup" recipes or go to a vets office and get a can of a/d (a high fat food) to see if you can stimulate her appetite.  It is worrisome since she isn't eating the food from the pet store.  Test her to see if she is hydrated (pinch, lightly, the skin on her neck and see how quickly it goes back to normal).  this technique is called "tenting" the longer it takes to go back to normal, the more dehydrated she is.  If she is dehydrated, then she needs fluids from a vet.
