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.

I believe that Dr Williams has made a similiar statement but I can't trace it.
