hi guys found a tick on my ferret today, they are keept in a weld mesh cage and she had a tick on her head, the only meat that i have fed them in the last few weeks is a jackdaw. has anyone else heard of ticks on birds?? its the only way that we can think she may have got it on her from.

I fed mine a crow the other week what the dog caught fed it to the ferrets and 2 days later both ferrets were covered in them there were about 15 on each ferret never seen so many. Will be checking what I feed them from now in the summer months.

Sounds like it did come from the jackdaw and as said freezing sorts that out but is there anything that could of passed the run and passed it on , like a cat etc
