I can add to the chorus of pleased ferrets and ferret owners--my guys
really like these treats, and I like giving them to them as they have a
decent ingredient list.  There are rice and other flours, but they are
also chock full of chicken, liver, egg, and all kinds of good things.
 
As an aside, after having a deaf ferret and an unpredictable ferret, I am
amazed by how easy it's been to train my guys to come to clicking noises,
just by making those noises while offering them treats.  I never looked
at Amelia as being handicapped in any way while she was with me (and
_she_ certainly didn't see her self that way), but now that I live with
fully-hearing ferrets, I am surprised at the difference in behavior
(maybe handicapped isn't as good a word as just different).  Anyway if
you've been thinking about training your ferrets to come to a noise,
it's easier than you think, go for it!

Is that my business?  Well, what is my business?  Do I know?  Did I ever
know?  Let s not go into that.  You re not human tonight, Marlowe.  Maybe
I never was or ever will be... Maybe we all get like this in the cold
half-lit world where always the wrong thing happens and never the right.
