Oxbow is one of the best quality kibbles that is a) marketed to ferrets and b) easily found at pet stores across the country.

While no kibble will ever be as healthy as a raw diet, realistically, most ferret owners are not going to feed raw, whether that's because of cost or availability. I appreciate Oxbow for offering a relatively healthy kibble that is easily accessible.

These Oxbow treats are a perfect example of a treat. They're tasty and not 100% biologically appropriate, but in moderation, they're healthy enough that they wouldn't have any negative impacts on your ferret's health. Much better than treats like N-Bones and Bandit treats that are totally inappropriate
