> We find that it is more effective to use a flea comb to dislodge > loose fur in Spring and Fall and then occasionally in between. I use a flea comb every day on my 2 ferrets, whether they need it or not!! :) I have found it to be very good for bonding with your fert especially a newcomer. They get used to it and will respond by trying to lick you while you are doing it. It ensures you dont get a build-up of loose fur at shedding times and removes lugs and anything that may get stuck in the coat. Tony, Sugar and Suki. in memory of Sally and Sue. [Posted in FML 5395]
