Shelby, my 6 month old sable, has snatched a variety of treats from me - peanut butter cups, milky ways, cake icing, and a musketeers bar! (She used 1/2 the 3 musketeer bar as a pillow for a while, and had bits of the stuff lodged in her fur)... eventually i found the bar, 1/2 eaten, and that was months ago... she likes peanut butter, raisins, and banana chips (like other ferrets), and i feed her those as treats regularly. I imagine that chocolate in moderate doses is ok, but i ain't no expert!!! I've gone camping with shelby, (for the whole summer in my truck) and she did well in her 2-story cage with all the necessities when she was younger...(i let her run in the Cab alot once it proved to be Ferret-proof) and now, i just carry a bag of food, a water dish and bottle, and litter box, and she knows what to do! i take her everywhere with me, but bring a small animal carry bag at all times just in case - and i imagine we shall be doing long-range traveling forever!!! (I am a kayaker and make trips around the northern east coast a few times a year, and Shelby will ride with me!!!) [Posted in FML issue 2180]
