Jamie93 57 Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 My hob had them bad at one point, used frontline oin him and within a week they were gonhe. mJust make sure you clean them out at the exact same time as you treat them Happy Hunting Jamie93 Quote Link to post
CountryHOG 0 Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Youve done the right thing,, save yourself some money next time. get a bottle of front line it lasts forever and some rubber gloves give them a good rub with it and few days later they should be all gone, already stated make sure you clean out the hutch, bet youve had a hedgehog about., Quote Link to post
Jamie m 668 Posted February 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 yes i got the bottle of spray like said will last for ages, where we were ferreting last sunday there was a lot of deer around there prolific for ticks Quote Link to post
bradbury2522 0 Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 the best way to get rid of ticks is white spirits. get a cotton bud and dip it in the white spirits then put the bud on top the ticks head and at the samepull it out with twessers. works ever time for me but i would advice u get sum1 to hold the ferret by the head Quote Link to post
The Liquidator 4 Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 I just use a tick hook cheap, safe and simple to use Tick removal Quote Link to post
Jamie m 668 Posted February 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 i know theres lots of difrent methods from byegon years but as the title says it was an infestation of tiny ones, if it was just one or two big uns would of got the tick hook out i think the bottle of frontline was a smart investment as it will last me next season as well for all my ferrets, and besides all tiks are now gone, heads and all with minimum stres to the ferrets Quote Link to post
