seany 54 Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Im afraid i spoke too soon with the ticks,a few days ago I noticed what I thought was a cleavers seed on my hob mickey so went to pull it off and it was a tick so thought dont panic and sent away for an O'Tom Tick Twister,it arrived in a day but I found it very fiddly and by this time there were more and also on my Jill Mallory.So phoned the vets today and luckily a vet answered so I asked if I could buy some frontline spray no probs he said its safe for ferrets no consultation needed so fingers crossed ATB Seany P.S I wonder why the sprays perscription only but the spot-ons not?

stubby 175 Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Id suggest practising with the tick puller, ticks will be an on-going occurance if using the ferts for ferreting, and frontline is'nt cheap, where as tick pullers are, and just as effective Quote Link to post
oakey 57 Posted September 14, 2010 Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 My vet sold me some frontline spray but i had to put down that it was for the dog .When you use spray put on a pair of rubber gloves spray the gloves then rub the ferret .It worked a treat for me with plenty of sprays left Quote Link to post
