Fleas can be a serious problem in ferrets. I never heard of the flea
stuff you mentioned, so I couldn't say whether or not it's OK or
effective.
Advantage is probably the best solution, but you'll have to get this
at your vet. DO NOT buy any of those Advantage look-alikes at the
supermarket.
The only other thing that would be OK to use is a flea shampoo that's
safe for kittens. This doesn't have the lasting effect that
Advantage has. If you do buy Advantage, get the one for BIG dogs.
All the different sizes are the same strength of the active
ingredient and you get a lot more for your money.
