Subject: Homemade Ferret Treat Recipe - Good or Bad??

In my search for healthier snacks/treats for my Ferrets I've come up with the following recipe. All ten of my Ferrets love it! However, I'm not sure if it measures up nutritionally. I *think* my recipe seems better then sugary snacks (fruits, yogi's, etc.) and most store bought Ferret treats (which tend to be loaded with corn, etc.) but I'm honestly not sure. I would really appreciate input from those with more "nutritional knowledge" then I have.
Again, this recipe is for snacks/treats NOT a main diet!
1 Pound Cooked Ground Chicken or Turkey
2 Whole Eggs
1/4 Cup Chicken Broth
1/4 Cup Olive Oil
4 Tablespoons Honey
2 Cups Whole Grain Oats (Oatmeal)
1 Cup Brown Rice Flour
Baked at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes and stored in airtight container in refridgerator.
