paulus 26 Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 anyone know whats the best flea treatment for ferrets i use to use either frontline spray or spot on for cats Quote Link to post
onthehunt 40 Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Beapher spot-on for small animals (rodents and ferrets on the pack). Works fantastically, never let me down and inexpensive £4 for 3 pipettes Quote Link to post
The one 8,405 Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Aldi's doing all the spot on's they where cheap but i cant remember how much Quote Link to post

stubby 175 Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 apart from ticks, you shouldn't have problems with fleas, yes they may pick up the odd rabbit flea, but they cant survive or breed on ferts, if anything a quick spray with any cat flea spray after ferreting should keep them in good steed Quote Link to post
foxtails 272 Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 iv just had a big flea problem, with the ferrets/dog and in the house, i used flea bombs in the house, frontline on the dog, then had to get the ferrets in theyr run in the garden, and used johnsons insectacidal powder for small animals, insectacides, - fleas will jump off the ferret straight away , itll kill them otherwise,i scrubed theyr cage and surroundings ect, it was a big job, but a job done well as iv got it under control now, and the misses isnt having a go every hour lol, iv used that spot on a few times even on the dog and ferrets all it does is detear them,i didnt find it worked at all, the insectacidal powder is only £2.15 once applied i put an old furry hat thing i had lying about in the run in the garden with them , then checked the ferrets a little while later, most were gone but some still there so re done them with the powder and an hour later litrally no fleas at all, i kept checking them over the days i found the odd stragaler but got rid of those, and now am flea free ! hope this helps, everyone has theyr own way of doing it but this is what did it for me!

onthehunt 40 Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 Use Indorex on the hutches and in the house. 10 quid of amazon cheaper than in vets and very strong stuff. if you have an infestation then all the animals and home hutches have to be done at once. big job Quote Link to post
