borntoshoot 1 Posted February 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Thanks mate. i thaught so but just wanted to check. i need a new hutch. i had laminate/flastic floor wood stuff (whatever you call it) on the floor and slightly up each corner of the inside and i took that up to spray and the fooking base is rotten to shit so dad will be raiding the skip at work for big enough offcuts to make it.

Malt 379 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Frontline spray, and it might be worth investing in a set of tick pickers from the vets. I'd also throw away all the bedding, remove the ferrets for a few hours and treat the living area with an insecticide. Quote Link to post
