Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Puppy wormer to treat fleas? Do you take cough medicine for a headache? Listen; If ye getting REAL trouble with fleas ~ and I Don't mean; 'OMG! A Flea! I Must go mad now!' ~ then here's one for ye: Get a short length of c. 1/2" bore copper pipe. Drill a few little holes in it. Now go to the pet shop and buy a flea collar. Shove that inside the pipe. Next, take a hammer and beat each end of the pipe shut. Obviously, making sure none of the collar's poking out. Then stick the pipe in their next box. It won't bother the ferrets in the least, in fact they'll either play with it, ignore it or bury it. But it'll sit there quietly exuding what it takes. Give it six months and do a fresh one. Quote Link to post

Guest manda Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I got small animal flea shampoo, doen't say for ferrets but i rang the company and they said it would be find, got a dish put half an inch or so of warm water and just bathe the ferret then put some shampoo on it and massaged it in then rinsed it off them dryed it with a towel but make sure its dry when it goes bk in the hutch dont want it getting flu or cold, think the shampoo only costs 3quid or sumit Quote Link to post

martin 332 Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I just sprinkle a bit of flea powder into the nestbox while it is empty,and,whisk it around with my hand,and then put the ferts back in. That Ditch is a thinker mind aint he Quote Link to post
