I'm afraid not Andy, if you plan on keeping ferrets you have to be very carfull what you feed them, unlike dogs and cats they are "Obligate Carnivores", Wiki can describe this far better than I:
"Obligate or true carnivores depend solely on the nutrients found in animal flesh for their survival. While they may consume small amounts of plant material, they lack the physiology required for the efficient digestion of vegetable matter"
A most excellent ferret rescue story. What was that you were feeding them at the beginning of the video? All my ferrets were rescues (four have since passed on over the past 9 years, but three remain now).
I know someone trying to talk her mom into letting her get a ferret - I think I'll show them this video.
My ferrets are old and don't play like that as mutch any more :(

That was some (unseasoned) cooked lamb off the bone left over from an evening meal.
Their favourite treat has to be raw minced beef though!
