Geez!! Well I learned something....I've always given my dogs and ferrets
frozen grapes and raisins as a treat. Reading that article was scary.
Now how about bananas and watermelon? All of my animals love those. You
can't eat a whole banana in this house.

[Moderator's Note: only grapes and raisins are known to be involved in the kidney
toxicocus concern which raisins and grapes have, so for other fruits take
moderation and the health of the ferret himself or herself into account. Banana has
been useful for some ferrets who are on high levels of diuretics due to the
potassium value.]
