We had really great luck with Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Castile Soap. You will find it in bar form at your local health food store. The ferrets love the smell and it doesn't hurt them if they get a little taste of it. The only thing is - it is very drying to their skin. If you use it, be sure to condition their coats after you bathe them. I read about this on Ferret Central. The soap is supposed to repel the fleas. It worked for us. We have not had any fleas since. Hope this helps someone.
