I was glad that you wrote on treats. Myself, as well as new ferrets owner
are learning a great deal from more experienced ferret owners on the list
who post regularly.
I give my ferret the treats they like so that is why I am still giving them
mostly fruits or cereals as treats but I am hoping to change their taste
over time to include treats with protein.
My 6 ferrets did not like the food high in protein that I offered them (even
when sprinkled with Ferretone): cooked egg, chicken, chicken or turkey baby
food. I find it weird that they would prefer pop corn but I guess it is
because the corn content of cat food is high. I switched a few months ago
to brands of food with the first ingredient listed being chicken or chicken
by- products.
Hopefully, I will be able to find a brand of baby food they like.
Does someone have suggestions to switch them to treats high in protein?
Thanks in advance.
