Subject: Eating spiders
We have quite a few spiders this time of the year--our house is old and I
don't use pesticides. (And I think the spiders keep worse pests under
control, so I'm not inclined to get rid of them.)
Several of my ferrets really enjoy eating spiders. They will watch a spider
and then pounce. They don't play, they gobble, so the spiders don't have
time to fight back.
Excluding the dangers of bites from black widows, can eating spiders harm
ferrets?
