Step 1
Choose a treat that is meat based. Try to avoid feeding fruits and veggies, as ferrets do not digest plant matter. Even a small piece can cause a blockage in their narrow digestive tracks.
-
Step 2
Look for a treat that does not contain dairy, chocolate, alcohol, candy, nuts, rawhide, black licorice, caffeine, sugar or salts. Any one of these ingredients can cause serious illness, and possibly death. Nuts and rawhide are indigestible and may cause a blockage. Sugary snacks can cause tooth decay and may mess with your pets blood sugar levels, especially with ferrets that have insulinoma. Chocolate, caffeine and alcohol are all poisonous and should be kept away from ferrets. Dairy products can cause upset stomach and diarrhea.
