You may want to ask your vet about a product called Revolution. It is a topical flea/heartworm prevention. I have previously used the puppy/kitten size and applied one drop to each of my rats when I get them home. It has a great safety margin and works for 30 days. Remember though the infestation is relative to the number of flea eggs, larvae and pupae found in the environment (cage, animals, carpet, bedding etc...). To break the lifecycle treat the environment every 2 weeks for 3 times. Virtually all insecticides do not penentrate the egg shell, thus every 2 weeks new pupae and larvae will emerge from the egg/pupae. Good luck!
