I am wondering if I can give my ferret pigs ear to munch on? A

harm them? Can it help clean their teeth?


I guess I have to ask why you would even want to give these to your
ferrets.
They're worthless as nutrition and full of grease. I won't even give
those
things to my dog and they're designed for dogs. I, too, would be
concerned
about blockages; it's not digestable material IMHO. I'm not sure,
perhaps one
of the doctors can answer this, but I think that crunching hard food
helps to
keep the teeth clean of plaque.
