I can add to the chorus of pleased ferrets and ferret owners--my guys really like these treats, and I like giving them to them as they have a decent ingredient list. There are rice and other flours, but they are also chock full of chicken, liver, egg, and all kinds of good things. As an aside, after having a deaf ferret and an unpredictable ferret, I am amazed by how easy it's been to train my guys to come to clicking noises, just by making those noises while offering them treats. I never looked at Amelia as being handicapped in any way while she was with me (and _she_ certainly didn't see her self that way), but now that I live with fully-hearing ferrets, I am surprised at the difference in behavior (maybe handicapped isn't as good a word as just different). Anyway if you've been thinking about training your ferrets to come to a noise, it's easier than you think, go for it!
