Items containing onion or onion juice or powder are harmful. Onion can trigger autoimmune hemolytic anemia, which is frequently fatal in ferrets. Garlic, garlic juice and garlic powder can cause renal failure, and one of the prepared duck soup products contains garlic. So, here is someone feeding their sick ferret this product, hoping it will aid in the recovery, and all the while it may be causing additional problems. Products containing carrots and/or dried fruit pieces can cause blockages. Almost all of us know or have heard of at least one ferret that has died or almost died from eating these kinds of "treats". And, as we learned from Dr. Kawasaki at the Symposium, raisins can cause renal failure. According to him, as few as 7 or 8 raisins eaten at one time can be deadly.

Hey! Stevy, Sierra, & Frosty here with a bit of more important information for you all! Now you need to pay real close attention to this because it could mean the life of our cousins so take care and read carefully!

You know when you go into the store to buys us fur kids things like food and treats? You know when you see a package with a picture of a ferret on it, you know; the kind with handsome face just like mine; Well just because the package has a handsome face like mine on it does not make it GOOD or SAFE for us.

There are some companies that make ferret food and treats that have bad bad bad things in it that will hurt us fur kids. These foods and treats are called BLOCKAGE IN A BAG and BLOCKAGE IN A CAN! At least that is what our dad calls it. That is not the real name of it but dad says we can not say the name of the stuffs we are talking about, but it comes in a green and purple bag with food in it and it comes in a blue and caramel color can with treats in it. Dad says it is full of dried fruits and veggies that we fur kids is NOT suppose to have. So if you see any of these kinds of food or treats that has things like dried bananas, papaya, carrots, corn, raisins and such; it belongs in the garbage NOT in our tummies!

SOOOOOO PLEEEAAAASE do not buy this kind of stuff for our cousins cause it will hurt them real real bad.
