No. Kitten food contains too much plant fiber and eating hard food helps to keep a ferrets teeth and gums healthy. Ferrets are unable to digest fruit and vegetables and eating these can cause stomach problems or in more severe cases intestinal blockages. Fruit and vegetables are also high in natural sugars. Foods which are high in sugar should also be avoided as ferrets can develop Diabetes. Another thing to avoid is dairy. Dairy products are known to cause stomach upsets such as vomiting and diarrhea when eaten by ferrets
