jazz_11 5 Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 hiya all, i was out fishing on sunday and caught some trout so gave the hob ferret of mine a fish head, which he ate. I then gave him the head which i gave the jill also on sunday night and i took it out last night and gave it to him... because its not good enough for her lol.. I just rememberd about it, and saw alot of flies hovering above it... On further inspection there were eggs all over the head. I was just wondering, can i spray disinfectant on where the head was and do u think the eggs would have also been laid around the head... any ideas or something I can get to spray on the patch where the head was, the ferrets are kept indoors so the last thing i want is maggots.....
