FAT BOY


Recommended Posts

Hi Fellas,

 

I`ve been keeping ferrets for 30 plus years, and a couple of months ago I put my hob on a diet .But he did not lose any weight.

When I went out to feed him tonight he was chewing on and eating a slug.When presented with food (dried) he had a sniff and

went back to his slug :sick: .

I know foxes and badgers eat slugs, But this is the first time I have seen this or heard of it . Has any one had anything similar

 

 

Regards Wam

snails seem to have a thing for chicken wire. my mum has a little pen in the garden for her tortoise, wooden sides & a chicken wire top. most mornings you'll find 10 or so snails stuck in the wire by their shells, bodies dangling down!

2 of my ferrets loved snails. they had a hutch-over-run thing, it was usually positioned near a hedge or fence, and the snails seemed to try to use it as a shortcut to get back in the shade. but the ferets always got to them first!

Id be more worried that the slug had made its way into the hutch/court in the first place, dont these things seek out dark, damp places to live

Slugs love the dogs shit when they eat dryed food, seen loads in my old place eating the poo(at night). Thats what the slugs were probably after the dryed food or the poo. Slugs can get in any where and if there is a lack of food about a short climb or squeeze into a hutch and bingo you ferret is eating MEAT.

I notice that no one has mentioned heartworm, a few years back all you could read on sites was the fact that letting ferrets eat slugs would lead to ferrets getting heartworm.
