There are oils in cedar and pine chips that are harmful to a ferret's lungs and liver. Ferrets get along fine without bedding, and often prefer a durable fabric floor for their cages. Amanda, thank you for the article. I will have to try the dish soap method, as it's hard to come by anything ferret-specific in flea control that I trust to be safe.

Find a vet in your area and ask them what they recommend. Anything you purchase from a pet store is going to be unsafe and a waste of money.
