[log in to unmask] questioned watermelon for ferrets.  I am no
proffesional.... but I think it would be common sense that watermelon
would be bad as a common treat.  Ferrets are carnivores.  Human's who are
omnivores can get stomack cramps, and ..  well...runs from too much
watermelon.  So imagine its effect on a ferrets system.
 
I give my one ferret there a teaspoon of some once in a greaaaaaaat while
during melon season.  She probably only had less than ten "bites" this
past season.  My others are allowed to lick the melon half to death for a
short period.  thats it.  I'm sure its not too good for them.
