To Ann Philips who was asking about appropriate ferret treats:
 
Have you tried pork rinds and spam?
 
No, no... just kidding ;-)) But seriously there are bite size ferret treats
made by the same company that makes Ferretone.  I think they are called
FerretBites and come in at least chicken flavor.  (They may be developing a
spam-flavor one soon!!) My gang eats them up and always want more and more
and more and have often hunted out the bag I store them in.  They come in a
unsealable bag so unless you feed them all to ferret at once, they will
become hard and stale.  So put them in a ziplock bag.
 
Other treats are fresh fruits like banana but don't give them too much at
once because it may mess with their intestinal system.  A couple or three
bit size pieces every few days such be enough.  Of course, there is always
the traditional raisin which my ferrets have never seem to care for.  But
like bananas, limit there intake.
 
Enjoy and good luck

getting some more of that oblong yellow stuff?"
