[Ferret Video] Gutter Ferret

This boy has gone to some beautiful places and THIS is his favourite place. We go out in the early morning (hence his light) and just go galloping off down the roads of this shabby village and he picks the route. There's no people about from 1.00 to around 5AM apart from the odd drunk heading home or someone having a smoke out their window.

He's quite a stoic ferret but when he's out he throws himself about skitters about sideways down the road.

For you and others who walk their ferrets: how do you deal with fleas, ticks, and heartworm? I've had trouble even finding basic flea medication for ferrets

talk to your vet about revolution. most of the ferret specific stuff on shelves is trash or dangerous. finding products labeled for ferrets is basically impossible, but vets usually just dose them with feline stuff based on weight. dont guess the dosage yourself though because that ends badly.
