I consider fruits and veggies a no-no.  Some people give in small amounts
which is probably ok as an occasional treat.  But remember ferrets are
carnivores, they need meat, and fruits and veggies do them no good at
all.  I know I know it's meant ot be a treat, bhut since there are treats
they like that are also good for them why not go that route instead?
 
Now, I was in Petco the other day and was VERY pleased to see *drumroll
please* Totally Ferret Treats!  I had not heard about these or seen them
before, so I did a little war dance there in the aisle.  I'm at work and
don't have the package here but meat was the first ingredient.  Not to
mention the ferrets scarfed them down first try which is unusual for
them.  Plus, being made by the same manufacturer as our #1 ferret food,
I can give them more as a treat which makes us all happier!
