hello...
i know that someone knows the answer to this one. what can you do for flea prevention with a ferret? i know its bad to make a ferret wear a flea collar, but why? does it make them sick? if so, what kind of signs should you watch for?
i take my guy out for walks all the time, and for the most part i have never had a problem with fleas. but the odd time i will find one on him, bath him, and check him again. they always seem to go. should i just stick to this?
Also, sometimes i notice Wish shaking. he's attentive, hiding half way under the couch, but as he sits there he seems to shake. sometimes when you pick him up he shakes. but he wants up, so i don't think i scare him. could he just be cold or tired?the shaking never lasts for more then a few seconds.
thanks. :)
