I don't know about anyone else, but I don't feed my ferrets any human food. They do get fruit. But, think about it our food has so much other stuff in it that may be bad for ferrets. esp. chocolate. a small amount of the one ingrediant in chocolate might be disasterous. I am kind of thinking that giving our ferrets human food might have something to do with all those tumers that they get. that is my hypothesis. before you give your ferrets something just call your vet and ask. you are probably not going to get charged for a question. and think about the teeth, if you give them sweets, they will get cavities. and if a cavity goes undetected it will get infected. that i am sure can be painful for the ferret and for your pocket book. Oh and the most important thing of all be esp. carefull with human medicine. just one asperin can cause liver malfunction. when you drop medicine be sure to find it and pick it up.
