The "m&m"s are actually peanut butter flavored treats that have plague vaccine in them. Prarrie dogs (the ferrets prey), coyotes, pretty much everything likes them. Because the black footed ferrets are north americas most endangered mammal, individuals are also often trapped and given direct injections for canine distemper, plague, etc. However, because they are so suceptible to the prarrie dog diseases, the prarie dog colonies near ferret populations are often delivered the vaccine laced treats so they dont pass them on to the ferrets
