❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use Salmon Oil every day?
Yes! Just start slow. 1–2 drops is plenty to begin with. Build up to more if needed to a maximum of 1 teaspoon / week.
Q: Will this fix bald patches or adrenal disease?
It helps with general skin and coat health, but isn’t a medical treatment. For sudden hair loss or behavior changes, talk to your exotic vet.
Q: My ferret isn’t into it — help?
Try using a small spoon, offering some off your finger dabbing on a treat, or mixing with a bit of Dook Soup. Some ferrets just need a few tries to get used to the taste.
Q: Can I use this with kits or seniors?
Yes — it’s perfect for ferrets of all ages, just start with a very small amount and monitor digestion.
