silver ferret

Just a suggestion from my experience, as you say its difficult to tell from the photo. My friends ferret turned orange last year, she paid a fortune for skin scrapings and they were mites. Well the orange is actually the dirt, mites are invisble to the naked eye. Had a few like that myself and its cleared up with ivermectin. Of course im not making a diagnosis, it may well be oils but thats just what i have experienced in the past.

Dog food for dogs, cat food for cats, ferret food for ferrets!

orange spots on the skin sounds like mites to me, you need ivermectin :-) I just had a ferret in with over 100 tics, they can cause lyme disease if left. Nasty little buggers they are. we managed to pick 63 off before he got fidgety, frontline has had the rest of them dropping off. If you get some ivermectin you will see those orange spots dissapear, he will probably need 3 treatments though 3 weeks apart, the first treatment kills the living mites, the second kills the eggs as they start hatching and a third just to make sure although sometimes you can get away with just the two.

Hi just wondering if there is anyone in wigan here? I dont work my ferrets but i do belive in a natural diet. I have been feeding rabbits all winter but now its coming warmer its not very practical with the flies. Im hoping to find someone who can supply me with pigeons or other small quarry as they can eat this over night, they seems to prefare birds to rabbits anyhow. Thanks.
