My ferret likes peanut-butter. i don't know what else though! i would try like vegetables or fruit with her but i don't know if it will be safe! some people say that veggies or fruits aren't good for them because they are carnivores. Please Share any healthy, tasty treats for ferrets!

  1. Ferrets also enjoy a variety of fruits. Bananas, grapes, rasins and melons are the most commonly consumed by ferrets.can Try different types of fruits to see what your ferret likes best.


  2. Ferrets are obligate carnivores (ie; strict meat eaters) and can not digest plant matter (ie; fruits/veggies) as they do not possess a caceum (the organ used to digest plant matter). Fruits and vegetables have no nutritional value to them and can in fact be dangerous (can cause life threatening intestinal blockages). The best treats for ferrets are meats (chicken, turkey, beef) raw or cooked (without seasonings).

  3. I'd ask this question in the YA Pets section. I'm a vegetarian myself but I'm against feeding carnivores a veggie diet.
