I would rather be tough with my guys about treats than have to send them
to the vet, have them take meds, have surgery or worse yet leave this
world.  So I am firm about what they eat.
 
My guys get four things and that is it.  Totally Ferret, Water, Ferretone
and Vaseline for the hairballs.  They enjoy getting a treat 1x a day:
their own food out of my hand, Vaseline for hairballs 2x a week and
Ferretone for nail trimming and ear cleaning, plus sometimes I put it on
top of their food, oooo yummy they love that.
 
They still drive me crazy when I am eating anything.  Poncho komokozi
dives off the edge of the couch to my back or head, ouch nails.  So I put
them in the cage when we eat, that way they don't feel deprived and we can
eat in peace.
 
In my mind it isn't really a treat if it ends up making them ill or
killing them in the long run.
