Answer
It is great that you are asking.  Ferrets are obligate carnivores, which means no vegetables, no sugars and minimal carbohydrates.  Sugar and carbs lead ot insulinoma and can't be processed, just like vegetables.  Kepp treats to meat only - like Totally Ferrets Chichen bites or just use a ferret food that isn't their usual.  I recommend Natural Gold for daily food and Totally Ferret with turkey or chicken for treats.
