Ferret Scratching

Question
I've noticed my ferret is scratching himself a whole lot like he has flees. However, I've given him a bath and looked several times and can't find a flee on him. I've never had a flee in my house and there aren't any other animals inside. Any suggestions?

Answer
Ferrets are very itchy animals. Sometimes your ferret will be sound asleep and suddenly jump up and start scratching like his/her life depended on it.

I always treat my ferrets monthly for fleas just to be safe. I would get the correct dosage of Revolution or Advantage for kittens. I use Revolution for kittens since it treats fleas, ear mites, prevents heartworms, and deworms.
