Hello Again, I've come across ANOTHER article that is relavent to a previous discussion regarding what ferrets can and can't eat. My ferrets have always liked dog food (as a treat when they can get it away from the dog ) and fresh vegetables (especially green peppers). According to an article in Ferrets USA 2003, the following foods should not be given to ferrets: Apples or Carrots: too difficult to digest and may cause intestinal blockages or choking, Chocolate: contains theobromine a potentially fatal chemical for ferrets, Cookies and Cakes: sugary desserts can cause diabetes and dental problems, Dog Food: Too low in protein and fat, and lacks the nutrients ferrets require, Milk/Dairy Porducts: The Lactose in these foods can cause diarrhea and vomiting, Red Licorice: too sticky and sugary for ferrets to eat and digest, Whole nuts/Popcorn: can cause choking and blockages in the intestines or bowels. Hope This Help, Lisa [Posted in FML issue 4066]
