yeah they are susceptible to food poisoning. Years ago my cousin had a pack of sausages in the fridge that had gone out of date so he cooked them and gave them to his ferrets.....obviously hadn't cooked them properly as every single one of them died! nightmare!

 

Glad yours is OK now though!

Glad it's been a happy ending for your kit, you are obviously very on the ball & take great care of your ferts, you just had a bit of bad luck! Hope she's back to her normal self very soon. I'd get rid of any leftover antibiotics though.
