Well, ferrets enjoy raw egg once a week. NEVER use cat food on long term. It is OK as an occasional treat but is NOT RECOMENDED in the long run, because it causes digestive upset and MALNUTRITION. Cat food isn't a complete and balanced diet. It is also very high in carbohydrates and can cause obesity.
Ferrets like raw meat because they are carnivores! Be sure you're ready to feed a ferret, it gets costly.
