liongeorge 7 Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Am I incredibly lucky? My ferrets never seem to get fleas. Have never treated them with anything. Quote Link to post
ferret100 47 Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Permethrin can also be used as a repellent, it isn't its primary function, but Bob Martin use it in very dodgy dosages...best to steer clear! Quote Link to post
j1985 1,984 Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 My misses used bob Martin on her cat once and it was having fits for days, frontline is what I use. Also I give my dogs garlic as it repells fleas aswell as other stuff, not sure if it would work the same with the longrats ? Quote Link to post

Some agree garlic does work to deter fleas/ticks, others really don't, there is no real evidence to support garlic works, but maybe it does, who knows! Too much garlic is known to give dogs & cats a condition called Heinz or Haemolytic Anaemia, as Garlic/onions etc contain a toxin called Thiosulphate, which causes the red blood cells to rupture. I'd imagine too much garlic would have the same effect in ferts. If the garlic works for your dog, then great, much better than it getting fleas, just wanted to mention too much can cause a problem.
