How often should I clean my ferret's ears?

Ferrets' ears should be checked weekly and cleaned as needed, usually every few weeks, to prevent wax buildup and infections. Use a ferret-safe ear cleaner and cotton balls or gauze. Avoid inserting anything into the ear canal. If you notice excessive wax, odor, or scratching, consult your vet as these may be signs of an ear mite infestation or infection.
