I'm asking a genuine question here, is the brine a problem for the ferrets something i have overlooked?

Wouldnt have thought it would be a problem in small amounts but I'd assume it wouldn't take much salt to poison a small animal like a ferret..

Salt poisioning/sodium toxidity is a big issue for ferts, it causes brain oedema and although death usually follows quite quickly after the spasms, it still not a pleasant way to go. Usually 24-96 hrs after a salt 'overdose' they will likely become lethargic and the spasms set in, game over after that.

 

I appreciate people have fed salty foods to ferts and 'got away with it', but same as many other fert husbandry aspects, survival doesn't mean damage hasn't been done and whether or not the damage is reversible depends on the issue.

 

Basically the bottom line is that unless the food is specifically for ferrets or vet recommended, don't give it to ferts. Atb.

Must remember to read the label on the next rabbit to see if its vet recommended for ferrets before I put it in with mine then?
