Ideation 8,216 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Get some rubber gloves, spray the front line onto them, and massage it onto the ferret, the ticks will drop off next day. You will get used to it mate Quote Link to post

You will get used to it mate Hi what frontline is this the kitten stuff or something? i have been looking for something but not too strong for a ferret, i have had the same problem latley come out covered in ticks all up behind the ears i use a proper tick remover but there is only so long a ferret will put up with it! Many Thanks. Quote Link to post
Rake aboot 4,936 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Normal frontline is fine for ferrets, you don`t need spot on , or kitten or whatever, just the normal stuff. Quote Link to post

Many Thanks. the stuff my vet gave me was kitten/cat stuff, just use a smaller dose!! its in a spray bottle so can and will apply to the other ferrets too as it does fleas also!! thanks rake, just thought it best to see exactly how to remove them and buy the right gear, dont need to pay for all again, just a repeat on the frontline! thanks Quote Link to post
