I would really like to hear from anyone out there who practices dental care on their ferrets. What do you do, how, how often, etc. I bought some finger brushes, small tooth brush, paste, pads, etc. However, we haven't actually "tackled" it yet. Our vet showed us how easy it was to take the plaque off. (He made it look easy, of course.) We're going to get one of those tooth scrapers and give it a try. With ten ferrets, nail trimming and ear cleaning is "fun" enough even with the Ferretone. Some of the older guys really need some mouth attention. Looking forward to a three-day weekend coming up! (It's Monday and I'm already wishing for the weekend...) More time to play with the ferrets, eerrr I mean clean up after the ferrets! Every time on the weekends when I try and do normal cleaning, somebody poops/pees somewhere and I have to stop and clean up while I'm already cleaning (something wrong with this picture). Cleaning the bathrooms are always fun, Chico is such a "big help"! Pull ferret out of the shower with rubber gloves, hope he doesn't puncture the gloves or get in any of the cleaner, pull ferret out of the shower, pull ferret out of the shower... I finally had to lock myself in the bathroom and hope not to asphyxiate myself on the fumes from the cleaner! BIG, please send me Bob's Chicken Gravy again. I don't know which pile the other one is in... I want to try and make a mess in the kitchen like everyone else, yah right! Done.
