It is best that you don't feed any human food to your ferret. Their bodies are not made to process all the preservatives and other things that are in our foods. They make special treats for them so I suggest you use something like these: http://www.ferretdepot.com/toys-!%60-treats/ferret-treats/ Hope this helps!
