I am also interested in healthy treats that your ferrets will eat.  How
did you make them attractive to your picky eater?
 
Most of the "meat" treats like Bandits have soy flour as their primary
ingredient.  I've found that more than one of them gives my fellows
diarrhea, which makes me think they are not healthy at all.  Have others
had this experience with these meat-flavored treats?
 
thanks,
Cindy and the fudge ferts: Cocoa, Butter, and Sugar, who vote for N-Bones
as their favorite, though Butter puts in a 2nd place vote for raisins,
and Cocoa desperately wants the meat treats if Mom would just stop
worrying about the diarrhea thing.
