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

Spray around the bottom 1" outside of the ferret hutch with wd40 this will stop slugs crossing the line

ps also works on your planters

Biggest problem with slugs apart from lungworm is ferrets eating them after they have eaten poison, i think.

some good replys there, thanks for the help

I doubt an older ferret would try and eat one but if it did it could end up with lungworm.

mines eat slugs all the time and does them no harm. they love the fuckers to be honest, and keeps the plants sweet

Ferrets are just as susceptible to Lungworm infection/pest poison as dogs etc if they eat an infected slug. Atb.
