If you are not prepared to put out the money to properly care for your animal then you need to find it a better home. Really you don't need to spend 1,000 of dollars to properly care for your animals. you really need to learn more about animal care before you go writing advice that is going to kill a person animal or send them to the vet to be treated for being poisoned. I wouldn't even use something like this on my 150lb dog let alone a small ferret.
