Re: Ferret...

There is one treat that ferrets cannot resist, the amazing ferretone. We use it when we clip their claws. But you can't give them loads, about 1 tsp per ferret per day is fine.

Other treats i give my 2 boys are - hard boiled eggs, tuna, raw/cooked chicken and boiled ham.

Hard boiled is fine, as long as it's no more than 1 egg per ferret per week. I usually only give one egg to both of them once a week though Any egg is fine to give, hard boiled, soft boiled, scrambled, poached and raw. I have heard that ferrets absolutely love scrambled egg but i havn't tried it yet. Ours love grilled chicken and they'll eat raw chicken, but only in small chunks lol.
