Fipronil/ticks/ferrets


Recommended Posts

Those of you that use Fipronil based products; do you still find that your ferrets have ticks/fleas crawling around after Ferreting? If you do, do you just leave them be relying on the fipronil to kill them off or do you take any additional action?

 

Just a thought? I find myself trying to brush them out before I put them back in the hutch (before the ticks have got a bite on) even if they will die soon enough..

Common sense to try and rid your ferrets from as many pest as possible before treating and putting back. I wouldnt want anything escaping, crawling off and possibly infesting. You cant really do a lot with fleas as their moving some. But I`ll remove embedded ticks as Ive had them die and stay attached. I always give the ferrets a ruffling to try as you say, brush them off before the latch on when they come out of a warren for the last time.
