Question
can my ferret have chocolate

Answer
HI Kassandra, I answered this question a few days ago and for some reason it never went through.

The short answer is no.  Never feed your ferret chocolate. It contains caffeine, which is very dangerous for an animal whose heart beats over 180 times a minute, and other substances that are dangerous for ferrets.

It's a good idea generally to keep anything with sugar in it away from ferrets.

Good luck,
DG
