Hello.
I can't find deer, horses or kangaroo block meats in my area. So I use those minced meat sold for dogs. In other words, he eats minced meat several times a week with a muscle meal.
Do I need to brush his teeth? He is a child and his teeth are still very beautiful. I want to keep it.
What kind of goods should I prepare? How should I brush his teeth? And if you have any URLs or videos that describe brush teeth in detail, please let me know.

It doesn't hurt to start young, and there's nothing negative from brushing teeth that would make it not worth your time.
I have found that my ferrets prefer the chicken flavored enzymatic Petrodex toothpaste, but all you really need is an enzymatic dog/cat toothpaste. Do not use a human toothpaste and do not "DIY" a toothpaste at home.
For toothbrushes, the best one I have found is the Kenko mini head toothbrush. The bristles are really soft and the head is small enough that it won't irritate the gums/lips too bad.
You do have to make sure that you keep an eye on the corners of the lips (the commisures were the upper and lower lips meet) to make sure you aren't hitting them/brushing too hard. If they become red/irritated, you need to lay off brushing for a few days in order to prevent oral ulcers from forming.
Here's a video on how I brush teeth at my house:

Thank you for teaching me clearly. I will immediately check and purchase the goods I have been taught. And I want to start taking care of his teeth.
The video you taught me is difficult in English, I will try to understand the subtitles carefully.
Thank you very much.

Just a reminder.
If you can get all the bone-in meals as called in the frankenprey diet, you will not have to brush teeth(I get good comments from my vet about my ferrets teeth). I have not heard anyone say they had to brush who has followed the meal plan. But until then....

enzyme pet toothpaste, poultry flavored, with a baby toothbush, once a month should be good. CET is one brand that you can buy online
