Fleas on ferrets

[invertasnakes]

Hi guys. Just wondering what i can use on my ferrets to treat fleas? Would something like frontline work and be safe, and if so whats the best one to get? the one for dogs or cats. Any ideas would be great

Best thing you can do is take them to the vets for the parasite injection (will kill and prevent worms and fleas), failing that frontline spray for kittens, easiest thing is to spray it on straw until damp, throw in a basket/box then put the ferrets in, or just spray the ferrets 4-7 times and rub down to the skin.

Forgot to ask, are you ferrets indoors or outdoors?

That's only any good if you wash it out afterwards, and at this time of year it's preferable not to bathe ferrets.
