Couple of sprays on each ferret. Also, if you clean their hutch completely you can spray the bedding area with it and reset it all. They'll lay in the bedding and also the bedding will be clear of fleas.

You just got a ferret out a rescue and its got fleas?.

frontline spray is the only one to use and is only available from a vet not worth using anything else for ferrets its lasts a bloody long time and read the instructions on iy as its quite a powerful chemical.

Paulus mate, I was explicitly told by a vet not to use cat treatments on ferrets and to use dog spot on if anything apart from the spray. Ferrets are genetically closer to dogs than cats and while most dog treatments are suitable for them, some cat ones can be harmful.

they actually dont belong to either family but are classifed with dogs and cats as carnivores

 

Carnivora, it refers to any meat-eating animal. Carnivora are generally divided into the suborders Feliformia (cat-like) and Caniformia (dog-like), and the superfamily Musteloidea. The Musteloidea in turn consists of the Mustelidae (mustelids: weasels, ferrets) they have been around domesticated for 1000`s of years theres even pictures on the walls of egyption tombs showing them being walked on leads. ive always used the cat stuff on my ferrets and never had a problem, but its possible i could have always used the dog stuff and said the same

 

there are specific product for ferrets here: http://www.vetuk.co....-spot-on-p-1500
