Hi all! I just wanted to share something that my wee ones just adore... and its all meat no grain LOL All it takes is a little effort on their Tail-lessTwo-Footer's behalf!! I have a dehydrater.. one of those silly looking things with stackable trays, that I rarely used for myself and had sat on the basement shelf for years. One day the lightbulb went on when I was reading the labels (again I stress READ LABELS!!!! LOL) on the treats I was giving my crew. All I do is take liver, chicken breast or fish (or sometimes all three in three trays..., cut it into strips about 1/2 inch wide.. place the strips on the trays, brush the meat with a mixture of olive oil and Ferretone....and let it go for 2 days. When the stuff is the consistency of jerky... (cracks but does not break when it is bent..leathery) I cut the strips into little bite size nibblies... and voila... instant all meat/fish ferret treats that my wee ones (even Mr. Finicky Finnegan) just adore! You can freeze what you dont use. aor those of you who dont have the miracle dehydrater LOL... I tried this in the oven the other day to see if I could get the same results... and with the liver treats placed on a cookie sheet, basted, I put them in the oven at 160 degrees (leaving the oven door open slightly so that air can get in and around the strips and dry them faster) for 6 1/2 hours. The results were very similar! The slightly higher temperature (than that of the dehydrater) ensures that E.Coli bacteria will be "killed" for those of you, like me, that worry about things like that all the time LOL The fuzzy butts in our house are particularly fond of the liver and fish treats... perhaps because they DO get so much "chicken" flavour even in the good kibble LOL There ya have it!!
