I think this is too much.  Our vet recommended, 0.2cc per ferret.  Applied
ONLY between the shoulder blades so they can't lick it off.  Also, by the
vets instructions, when we apply this to the ferrets they all get separated
for 20 minutes to let the stuff dry up, this keeps them from licking it off
of each other.  Unlike chocolate a little bit of this stuff can really be
harmful.  This is what we've been doing and it's working like a charm.  The
cat also gets a full sized fat cat tube so all the fleas don't end up on
him.
