However i would like to stress the importance of NOT giving them raisins,sultanas,grapes,figs or prunes to eat.They swell up inside the stomache,causing internal passages to block,this can be fatal for them, they choke and at the very least can vomit violently. I speak of experience of this happening to one of my ferrets, afriend came visiting abd not knowling gave him some raisins to eat.Within minutes he was choking,it was ripping his windpipe,as luck would have it i was around and able to remove the raisins.he was very weak for a few days,I hope any one reading this makes sure that nobody gives their pets any food without letting know first.My ferrets eat mainly fish (no bones though)FRUIT,love strawberries (sliced)celery and ferret biscuits.
