My ferts love to hunt and eat crickets that I buy from the petstore (for reptiles). I really want to give them an earthworm from outside. But I have a question. I mean if they eat dirt.... what if a worm eats dirt that has heartworm eggs or something else bad in it. Then if my ferret ate the worm, wouldn't that be bad? If I bought earth worms from a pet store..... they would be farm raised correct? And then would they be safe? Does anyone know? I wanna give my ferrets other fun things to try. What are some fun and different...uh..... treats?
