welshboyarcher 4 Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Slugs can carry/transmit lung worm to dogs, cats and other mammals. Not sure about ferrets specifically. http://www.bluecross.org.uk/1752-99849/dog-owners-are-you-lungworm-aware-.html 1 Quote Link to post

Ideation 8,216 Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Biggest problem with slugs apart from lungworm is ferrets eating them after they have eaten poison, i think. Quote Link to post

GreyRake 108 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 I doubt an older ferret would try and eat one but if it did it could end up with lungworm. Quote Link to post
Guest norseman Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 mines eat slugs all the time and does them no harm. they love the fuckers to be honest, and keeps the plants sweet Quote Link to post
ferret100 47 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Ferrets are just as susceptible to Lungworm infection/pest poison as dogs etc if they eat an infected slug. Atb. Quote Link to post
