fleas and ticks

[jenksi87 3]

how often do you check your ferts for fleas and ticks? just checked mine for thoroughly and my smallest jill had 3 ticks, 1 in each ear and one between her claws, poor thing. i check them thoroughly once every week (when working them) when i change there bedding, and once evry 2week when there not working. just bleached all there hutch out and changed all bedding e.t.c so unless i have missed a small one there should be no more problems.

every time they are handled, ie DAILY

Mine stay indoors, so aside from a flea once in a blue moon they don't have anything.

 

But in a case like yours they should be checked every day or two.

Mine are checked daily when worked and weekly when out of season and sprayed with frontline when needed.

You can normally see or feel a tick if they have one on them, if they have fleas they near enough chew thier bo***cks off, so not hard to spot a flea outbreak
