Hello,
Probiotics such as lactobacillus are safe, but
they may not have any benefits in a ferret.
The other questions is will the lactobacillus survive
the ferrets very acidic stomach. Probably not.
Again it will not hurt the ferret, but it may not help
the ferret either.
Hope that helps,
Jerry Murray, DVM
