O.K., does anyone (anyone at all) have an opinion on this? Would or could giving my Ferrets these treats be in any way detrimental to their health???

Anyone???

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.
