most things designed for cats are ok for ferrets. if it was puppy milk then no. but kitten should be fine =) i wouldnt get them too hooked on it.. id use it when clipping nails or just as a treat

Use oil, virgin olive oil or vegetable works best as treats, sticks to their fur/belly and takes them a while to lick off so gives you time to bath them or trim nails etc.

Cat milk can give them an upset tummy

Ferrets don't digest lactose very well so it's best to steer clear from cow's milk. Soya milk is better. As for clipping nails, try Ferretone...ferts love it and will do alomost anything for it!
If your ferrert needs fattening up for winter then make a high protein chicken soup. I make mine by boiling up a raw chicken carcass and then (once it's cooled down)stripping it of all the fatty and meaty bits, removing all bones. I then I put it in my food processor and whizz it all up. This soup can be frozen in smaller quantities and fed after thawing to your hungry ferts! My Monty loves it.
