grompz 706 Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 havent had any ticks on the ferrets for a while,but the dogs got to be checked out after every trip of late always find afew and they get treated regullary,last year was a bad year for them, Quote Link to post
pie-eater 377 Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Had a big outbreak of ticks on my ferrets once after chucking in a crow that I had shot, I freeze most of what I feed now to kill any passengers. The tick removal tool mentioned above works really well as does frontline, shame you need a prescription for frontline spray now. Quote Link to post
chrisbrown86 0 Posted March 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 Cheers guys I'm at the local pet store today I'll have a look what I can get.. Must be from the sheep on that permission.. I freeze all the meat I get so it must be from there :\ Quote Link to post
