Dried fruit isn't a problem at all, as long as it's not in such huge
amounts that they're not eating their regular food.
 
Raisins are dried fruit, folks.  And what more popular ferret treat is
there?
 
Our crew get mostly raisins, dried cranberries (market name: Craisins),
and bits of dried date.  A few like Bandit treats or other types of ferret
treats, but most like the fruits a lot better.  They'll eat fresh fruit
too.  They like the sweet stuff (grapes!).  Fresh grapes and melon are
great for beach trips or car rides; I know they won't get dehydrated if
they're eating lots of juicy fruit.
 
Ferrets don't get much nutritional value from fruit, but it doesn't hurt
them either.  Not in moderation, anyway.
