Question
I am aware of the inherit dangers of providing raisins to ferrets as treats because of the high sugar content. What about sugar free raisins?

Answer
Even though they are sugar free Raisins still have quite a bit of natural sugar that cannot be extracted from the raisin. I would cut them out all together there are lots and lots of treats you can give ferrets. One of my ferrets was a raisin addict when he lived with my dad he would steal the box and run off with it. So I had to ween him from them now he is obsessed with boiled chicken.
