I have crickets in my house. I guess for whatever reason, they have come to live with us. My ferrets don't mind because they are amused by the crickets. They will chase & play with the crickets. I do have a problem thought...Our little guyu Gunther has a habbit of finding them and chewing on them! ICK!!! That's really gross, but as hard as I've tried I can't get the crickets to leave. Any way, I have a concern...Are Crickets toxic if ingested by a ferret? When we see that Gunther has a cricket, we immediately remove it from Gunther's mouth. I just wonder if anybody out there in FERRET-LAND has any familiar experience and know of any harm it can do other than a possible digestion problem. I realize that Gunther's body wont digest any of the cricket and realize it is not very healthy for him, SO PLEASE, NO FLAMES. We do the very best we can to prevent him from eating crickets, but we are also EXTREMELY concerned about the potential hazzard that arise from exterminators chemicals and therefore are reluctant to go that route.
