I am fostering a four and a half year old insulinomic ferret for our shelter and he is an absolute darling. (he's had two surgeries in the past six months because the first vet botched the job because he wasn't ferret knowledgeable, this was just before he was turned in to the shelter) The problem is I am afraid to give him treats. It breaks my heart when he looks at me with those big eyes when I thought he was asleep and he catches me giving the others raisins. He loves duck soup but I put banana baby food in it for taste and I know banana's are very sugary and not a good idea to give to him and Nutrical which is molasses based. Any suggestions on what I can give him? He doesn't like Cherio's or salmon flavored pounce treats and he is living with a two year old fert who I don't want to give treats to either should Jake smell raisins on his breath (they both get seperate play times than the rest of my group because my younger boys are relentless and harp on the poor dears) I just read something about a food dehydrator...can I give him dehydrated banana's??? I thought by dehrdrating stuff it concentrated the sugar....??? What other kinds of things can I give him? What about hair ball remedies????
