Hi folkes, I know a person who is a member here,who has several ferrets.These folkes don't do ears,nails ,laxative or Tone.I've tried to educate them I must not know what I'm talking about.Been a shelter a few years but....... Anyways,I do give Tone mixed half/half with either sunflower oil or olive oil. I also give Vaseline mixed with Tone as a laxative 3 times a week. They said it doesn't absurb into the stomache.So,they can't give. Tried to tell them that petrolem jelly is the base on all laxatives and ferret vitamins,the tube kind.. As for the ears,they said that the ferrets clean them,themselves.Not so.And if there's no carpeting,the ferrets nails don't need clipping.Not so. As they will read the FML daily,will you other people please help educate as that it's good for the ferrets to get the above mentioned?
