ferrets digestive tract is not long enuff to hold worms...............

so i was always told

 

i freeze rabbits for a minimum of 28 days before i feed to dogs to kill worms, but i never freeze for ferrets, unless i aint got any fresh in.....

 

 

never noticed any worms in my ferrets poo poo,

 

 

 

my hobs always lose some condition over the summer, due to being on the ran dan constantly

well I didn't know that! I've never had a ferret with worms either but I always assumed it was because I didn't feed them raw in the past.

 

 

it may not be 100% true mate

 

just summat i was told a good few years ago now, an as i aint ever had worms in me ferrets, i took it as gospel...

it does sound viable

feel a bit of a fool now

 

 

im sure somebody will be along to correct me soon enuff, if im wrong

Dunno, I've had about 10 ferrets over the years and never wormed one, and never heard of anyone worming one either, so if it is possible for them to get them it must be quite rare. But if it is possible then it's possibly the reason why this blokes hob has gone skinny.

 

It's hard work keeping my hobs weight down both in summer and when he's working, he's just a greedy fat git basically. And the jills the opposite, she can eat and eat and eat and is always slim, not skinny, just in decent shape.

I just wouldn't want to worm the ferrets if i didnt know they had worms as the wormer might might no be effective if i really needed it . Differnt with the dogs ive seen worms in there crap and i know to worm them .

Maybe im lucky i dont work my snipped hobs and they look well during the summer and never seem to put a load of weight on during the winter and all they do is eat and **** bring the jills out of season
