Well, Amy, the gbest place to get a shampoo that is ferret safe is at
your vet's. Ask for a pyrethrin based shampoo, one that you could use on a
kitten. While you're their - ask for a flea comb also.
Remember, though, that if you see a couple, you may have hundreds in
your house. Fleas only live on the animal when they are actively feeding -
the rest of the time they are in your rung, reproducing.
You may also want to take a look at some flea bombs for the house - if
you want to attack them, go all-out now.....
