Hello, if the product you are using is not working, you might want to try Advantage Multi, but I would think between the drops you are using & the bathing, the fleas should be gone. You might also try completely changing out your enclosure, using a completely different substrate, just in case Mike is sensitive to what you are using now. If he continues to itch, you may have to check him for adrenal disease, just because it is so common in ferrets. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
