Today I'm telling you guys all about my favourite treats to give my ferrets! Don't forget that treats are just that: TREATS! So make sure you're feeding in moderation.

NOTE ON SOURCING: In the last several years there have been many dog deaths linked to eating chicken jerky treats (https://www.petfoodindustry.com/articles/5822-fda-update-jerky-treats-sickened-6200-dogs-killed-1140). Though it hasn't been completely confirmed, the main theory behind this is a problem with sourcing since the meat from these treats has come from China (https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/mystery-of-pet-deaths-related-to-jerky-treats-made-in-china-continues-to-stump-fda/2014/03/28/c860002a-b39b-11e3-8cb6-284052554d74_story.html). Different countries have different laws regarding food regulations, ESPECIALLY when it comes to pet foods. My recommendation is to make sure that you know where the meat in the treats your feeding your ferret is sourced. Most labels will tell you, but if they don't make sure you've done your own research. Remember "made in" does not mean "sourced in". A treat may be made in Canada, but the meat can come from elsewhere. And of course, if you're still concerned the best thing is to just not feed this particular type of treat. I made my dehydrated treats home made, so this has never been an issue for me.
