Do not use Hartz flea medication of ferrets or any other animals. There has been many reports of Hartz flea medication causing seizures and even killing pets. On ferrets, Advantage and Frontline are safe, but always read precautions before using and consult your veterinarian.

How do you get rid of fleas on a ferret?

Ferrets do tend to scratch and itch a lot. Bathing and/or using a product not made for ferrets will dry out their skin, making them itch, also check for fleas. Bathing a ferret is not necessary unless they get into something and needs a bath. Ferrets can also have allergies that will make them itchy. If you are feeding dry ferret food, give them a tiny bit of olive oil every few days for their coat, it has a lot of good nutrients. Most ferrets like olive oil, you can use it as a treat for them. Also your ferret's ears may need cleaning which also causes them to scratch themselves
