Cleanspade 3,322 Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 hi all, i went out to handle my 5 week old ferret kits today , when i was handling one i noticed a tick behind its ear, ive got a bottle of frontline for ticks but would it be alright to use it on 5 week old ferrets p.s. my dad went out the other night and shot a rabbit for them, i think they've caught it of of that ? frontline ok for 5 week old ferrets ?? cheers RC Quote Link to post
Guest wickidweasel Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 use a ear bud and paint it directly on the tick shouldnt be no probs allow about a day for it to drop Quote Link to post
Guest ferreting king Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 get some varnish i a cotton bud and dab it on the tick and it will sufocate the tick and it will fall off within a day Quote Link to post
MikeTheDog 153 Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Jeeze!...Use ya fecking nails and pull the fecker off!. I wouldn't use frontline on a kit, come to think on it I aint ever used it on a ferret Quote Link to post
Guest eddie willo Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 (edited) If you cant pull the critter off i use a little ant powder on a tooth brush then i brush it over the ticks. Then the next day most should be dead and easy too pull off then i bath my ferret so that it does not get dry skin. Keep the ant powder away from the ferrets eyes though!!!
