The battle has begun! Fleas have found my beloved ferrets and so WAR IS DECLARED. Unfortunately, ferrets are small creatures with sensitive systems, making even a mild infestation harmful. Also they have thick hardy coats which are dense and hard to comb through. They also simply can't be made to sit still once they're awake. Finally to top it all off, their coat needs to be kept comfortably oily, so bathing them is a big no-no.
So if there aren't medications made for them that get rid of fleas, and I can't use conventional flea baths, how the hell am I supposed to de-flea them?! Apparently lemons. You can infer from how this entry is phrased that I'm almost expecting this not to work, but the internet says to boil 1 lemon for about a day in a gallon of water and then to soak the lemon-water into my ferret's fur. I complied as best I could and employed the all powerful Borax to de-flea other unlaundrable surfaces in the apartment. I'm going to try this for a week and see if it reduces flea encounters, reporting back to you, loyal readers (I think there's maybe 2 and a half people who skim over this occasionally).
