Because the ferret does not recognize it as food. Ferrets are known to be picky eaters, because they imprint on their food at a young age. This means that when a new food or treat is introduced the ferret actually has no idea that it is food. Try mixing it with their food or rubbing a small amount on the ferret's gums.
