They would if they could, though? Every ferret I had, have had, have
fostered, rescued, etc... absolutely loves the stuff. This is where
responsible ownership comes in, as always.

I should hope so. We use it to make nail trimming possible. We use it
as a treat for Ayeka, and as a result she tolerates the pediapred we
give her, which she absolutely hates. In general we allow each ferret
to have a tiny little bit as a treat once a day or so. I think what we
are doing is safe.
Besides, Ferretone and Nutrical are ingredients in Bob Church's Chicken
Gravy. The TriFL website has links to articles by Bob Church about the
benefits of the gravy to insulinomic ferrets, and about insulinoma in
general:

It's the second link down.
Interesting reading.
All the best,
Caity
