Is there a special flea stuff for Ferrets?

Question

I guess my Ferret had fleas before we got him. I know of dog and cat flea drops.. and I really am new to having a ferret.. is there specialized ferret flea drops, or can you use regular stuff?

Answer 1

My vet has always given Revolution to my dad's ferrets for fleas. It's fantastic you can also use it on rabbits and rats it prevents mites.

Answer 2

Um if u go to petco and go in the ferret/bunny area there is all u could think of about ferrets but be careful , u might have to ask a employee.

Answer 3

Frontline, Frontline Plus, Frontline Spray, Advantage, and Revolution are all safe to use on a ferret.  Here's a link to a forum message with a little more info on it (it also has info on for ticks and heartworms): http://forum.ferret.com/tm.asp?m=19175 . I've used the Frontline Spray on my ferrets when I noticed fleas on them. It worked and it caused no harm to them. I think Revolution is the best though, because it's also a dewormer, prevents heartworms, and kills ticks and ear mites. Also, everytime I change their bedding, I spray a light coating of Marshall's Flea and Tick spray on the clean bedding as a preventative. Marshall's also sells a Flea and Tick shampoo. I don't think either works well when it comes to getting rid of fleas, but I do like using the spray as a preventative and it does seem to work (mine haven't had fleas for at least a year now).

Answer 4

advantage for kittens or frontline for kittens work best.

Do not use powders. They have a very sensitive respiratory system and they can inhale the powder.

Answer 5

i use kitten flea powder on my rabbit, so i am sure u can use that.
