Here are some things I consider healthy treats: - small pieces of cooked meat, fish or egg - chicken wing tips, briefly boiled or microwaved - any quality ferret kibble not normally fed to them given by hand (my guys think Path Valley is candy!) - high quality cat/kitten food fed by hand - Totally Ferret's new Chicken Bits (100% chicken) - Totally Ferret Treats - Rosie's Rewards (100% beef) - Gimborn 100% freeze dried meat treats One good thing about the ferret or cat/kitten food--you can give them as much as you want without worrying about overdoing it!! Treats ok in moderation: - Meat-based treats like Bandits - Jerky treats (read label: may contain sugar and salt, so moderation needed!) To be avoided: - yogurt drops (virtually all sugar) - anything with bits of dried fruit or vegetables - treats with flour or grain as first ingredient This is just my list. I'm sure others have found great treat ideas! Linda International Ferret Congress http://www.ferretcongress.org [Posted in FML issue 4891]
