I've used Frontline Plus. A couple of rescues have come in with those
little tiny deer ticks - too many for me to be sure I'd find them all by
hand - and it works well. Advantage doesn't get ticks, so we went with
Frontline. It seems to do just as well on fleas as Advantage. The dose
I've used is 0.1 ml for smaller ferrets; 0.2 ml for big ones. Chances are
the smaller dose would have worked on the larger ferrets; haven't used it
often enough to have experimented with that...

Good luck!
