Subject: [ferrethealth] Hmmm, I wonder if this would make an interesting treat for a ferret?

They so LOVE rubbery textures, and certainly cooked eggs are a healthy
protein source for most ferrets.

notes:

whites are very >rubbery)

and

but

so maybe doing whole eggs would be too watery -- though rollie-pollie
and rubbery which are both wins for ferrets.

I wonder if a splat of cooked egg -- like a firmly fried egg then
frozen would make a good rubbery textured treat and escape the watery
aspect?

Hmmmm...
