Dexter's Feet:

Peppermint foot cream from The Body Shop. Works wonders! I think they're
all on the west cost of Australia, but more may have openned. The added
bonus is that you can eat it - it >ISN'T< recommended, but it wont hurt
humans - so a small amount _in_ a ferret shouldn't be a problem (you can get
an ingredients list to check with your vet), and seriously, how could you
avoid it?
