"They're good treats, but my little senior ferret loves them and it has helped her gain/maintain weight. Took her a few days to accept them, but since then she eats one daily. If your ferret doesn’t like them at first, I would recommend trying to smear vitamin paste."

β€” Betina

"How are they supposed to eat these things when they smell like you just opened a bottle of pure vitamins? Don't waste your money, roscoe didn’t like this item I tried for a week and he was not having with it."

Bottom Line
