BHT is the least of your worries with Kaytee.  It's the dried fruits that
can cause blockages.  Fruits are nondigestable for ferrets and have no
nutritional values.
 
Better to get a decent ferret or kitten chow, with the first ingredient
as chicken and the next two ingrededients as meat and hopefully rice
before corn.
