Okay, we don't have cockroaches here but my ferrets will eat big spiders an=
d
moths if they can get hold of them. Thing is, some of my ferrets were
violently sick after eating spiders and moths! Like they had a very bad
reaction to them... My Tom once ate a slug and it went all gooey in his
mouth and he couldn't swallow it or spit it out so *I* had to clean his
mouth out with the sleeve of my sweatshirt!

I don't think it's bad for ferrets to eat bugs as long as the bugs haven't
been poisoned. They're nice and crunchy, aren't they...
