Slugs

[Ferret kent 12g 17]

Hi all, would just like to ask if anyone knows if it's ok for ferrets to eat slugs and worms?

Coz my Jill's find them in the garden and go mad for them , they dig like crazy to get them out..

I know it's not good for a dog to eat them so would like to know before the ferrets find one that I don't see or maybe they have been eating them all along with out me knowing.

Any help would be great ?

Thanks

Don't know about earthworms but I think slugs carry lungworm.

I've got an old jill here that I found living wild a couple of years ago who eats insects at every chance she gets, my others don't bother.

See I've got 3 Jill's , two from the same litter and one of them eats every thing, and two days ago they where all in the garden I was in the shed and I could hear them all going mad when I look out the shed she had got a pigeon as it landed , she was on it's back with her mouth round it's neck, she killed it and then they all was eating it ( made a big mess and the wife went mad). She even goes for my dog (big staff x).i haven't worked them yet as where only born end of May this year..
