Freezing to kill nasties...

[Gaz_1989 9,539]

Does freezing whole rabbit and pigeon etc kill things like fleas, ticks etc?

 

I know it takes 3 weeks to kill worms, is it the same for other things?

 

Thanks

wouldint worry to much about external parasites ,gareth has explained the not long moving off when the host his dead.atb bunnys.

That explains why you dont see many fleas and ticks on the rabbits when you get home then!

 

If you were to frontline the ferrets then is there a risk of fleas ticks living in there sleep box (wood shavings and clothing) and surviving the treatment that way?
