Answer
Ferret are notorious for getting into foods they shouldn't have. Just calm down and keep an eye on him. A milk +d95478-5897;pot/ (sorry a message from one of my own fuzzies =P ) half of a milk dud shouldn't cause any harm it may give him a little runny poo so I would just watch him and make sure he is using the potty ok and acting normal (eating, drinking, potty, playtime).

If something seems really off about him then a vet visit is a safe way to go.
