Can bleach kill ferrets

Answer 1

Cleaning a ferret cage - All disinfectants are potentially dangerous, always read the manufacturers recommended dilutions and never mix two disinfectants together

You can use a warm soapy solution, or antibacterial soap

Bleach (sodium hypochlorite) - can be safe to use as recommended - use a very weak water and bleach solution(about 2% bleach and 98% water). rinse well with clean water and let dry and stand empty for about 30 minutes, Some ferrets like bleach and will drink it.

You should avoid using any phenol-based cleaning products(it will turn white when added to water) and products such as Lysol (the disinfectant spray too), Pine Sol (pine cleaners) when cleaning the cage. Lysol is extremely toxic in very small amounts if ingested and can be absorbed through skin.

Answer 2

If they ingest it - ie; by licking it off a surface or from their fur - yes, definitely. Take care to keep bleach and your ferrets apart.

Answer 3

Yes. they can. bleach can kill most animals because of the chemicals inside it
