kill um with crisps 7 Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 Tick remover mate. Grip it as close to the ferrets skin as you can and gently twist it anti clockwise till it pops out. Then dab a bit of tcp on the wound in case of germs and infection. Quote Link to post
rainger 0 Posted April 4, 2010 Report Share Posted April 4, 2010 I keep frontline for kittens for this reason. Where I am, picking up ticks is a common problem. Prevention is better than cure but saying that you can dab the tick with a bit of front line on your finger and more often than not it makes removing them easier. Quote Link to post
