I'm going through the same thing!!  I have one ferret with lots of tarter
and five others heading down that path.  I want to treat the one and
PREVENT the others.  My vet will not do a thing unless he puts them under
also.  I don't want to do that.  I also think it is VERY overpriced just
to clean teeth (I've checked around for prices here and even abroad,,, he
is about average in prices).  The one that needs treatment is an older
and verrrrrry calm ferret.  It would only take two of us to hold him
aboslutely still.  But he won't.
 
Meanwhile I have a friend that says their is food that is dental kind of
food I can try for them all.  But I don't know the name of it or where to
get it.  I've not seen any such said food at The Ferretstore.
 
Meanwhile I'm in search of this food, and I have considered getting the
dental tools myself online... but I have no one to teach me how to do it
in person.  So I'm stuck.
