ferret100 47 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 If you see worms in their poo, then it's a sorry state of affairs. Worming is prevention rather than cure. Many animals may carry a worm burden and it doesn't show any symptoms, but infection or illness can give the worms a great opportunity to do real damage. Ferts do seem less prone to worms than other species, but they are not immune. Red Flag signs for worms are a hungry animal with a pot belly and thin ribcage/hips. Using wormers prevents unseen damage. Quote Link to post
Jamie m 668 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 just come back to this, i have seen worms and the ferrets went poor, rabbit have worms and i feed rabbit , in fact fur an d feather, i took some advice any way, and used half a bob martins in some milk, it seems to have sorted it, id only use the other stuff, when i seen worms but i ran out, you dont allways need to see worm, to know if they have them.

Ferret mad Dave 65 Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Surely the freezer would sort them out if the rabbit has them and surely they are in the gut that you take out ??? But I could be wrong Quote Link to post
