Some people give in small amounts which is probably ok as an occasional treat. But remember ferrets are carnivores, they need meat, and fruits and veggies do them no good at all. I know I know it's meant ot be a treat, bhut since there are treats they like that are also good for them why not go that route instead? Now, I was in Petco the other day and was VERY pleased to see *drumroll please* Totally Ferret Treats! I had not heard about these or seen them before, so I did a little war dance there in the aisle. I'm at work and don't have the package here but meat was the first ingredient. Not to mention the ferrets scarfed them down first try which is unusual for them. Plus, being made by the same manufacturer as our #1 ferret food, I can give them more as a treat which makes us all happier! Star ===== In the best of times, I hold in my mind the need to care for things beyond the self: poetry, humanity, grace. In other times, when it seems difficult merely to survive and be happy about it, the condition of my thought tastes as simple as this: let me be a good animal today. -Barbara Kingsolver, "High Tide in Tucson" ~*~*~ http://foxfoot.tripod.com/ [Posted in FML issue 3967]
