Nothing. Ferrets should always have a fresh water supply available.

They will of course drink anything they are offered, but water is the safest and healthiest choice. Their teeth have a very high surface to mass ratio and therefor will quickly be damaged by sugars, fizzy drinks or acids like Orange Juice.

Milk should NOT be given as it contains lactose. Special milk for pets (cats) can be used as a treat (around 1 TBS per week).

Ferrets should have a constant supply of fresh water. How much a ferret drinks water can vary as their weight can be from 1 to 5 lbs. They will drink more water from a bowl, use a heavy crock to prevent your ferret tipping it over.

It is recommended for ferrets to have bottled water than water from the faucet.

Some milk on occasion might be all right, but do not give them anything with sugar or cafeine, they are hyperactive enough as it is, and it can cause them health problems as well.
