It's that time of year....

As you might be noticing its getting a little colder out and that cold and flu season is coming! How do you keep your ferrets protected during that time of year?

Ferrets are prone to upper respiratory infections and influenze and can even catch these diseases through human contact! If you notice your ferret sneezing, pay close attention to the color of the mucus and check to see if its eyes are clear. Sometimes it might be caused by the type of litter that is being used. Make sure to use a pellet litter - I like to recommend the Marshall Premium Ferret Litter.

If the discharge you're seeing is yellow or green you should treat with an antibiotic. I like to tell everyone to use Marshall Ferret Rx for congestion along with the antibiotic for a very effective treatment.

In order to build up your ferret's health, try Marshall Furo-Vite which is a high calorie vitamin supplement and make sure to keep your ferret hydrated. Adding Marshall Ferret Aide to water helps keep ferrrets even more hydrated. Using these items regularly will help keep your ferret healthy, especially going into the cold and flu season.

Wow! An 18 lb. bag?!?

Do you ever feel like you are always having to run out to the pet store to get more litter for your ferret? I always felt that a lot of the litter bags out in the stores weren't big enough and you had to go out all of the time to get more. If you're the kind of person that only goes to the pet store when you need more food or litter, having a product that will cut down on the number of times you have to go to the store would probably be a good thing!

Marshall Premium Ferret Litter now comes in an 18 lb. bag. Not only that but they have also updated the packaging on their 10 lb. bag to match their new 18 lb. bags. The image on the front is very cute with a ferret face and its very eye catching!

I think you would find that the new size of the 18 lb. bags is very convenient. Check it out and see for yourself!!
