|Re: odorous ferret -
|
|I do bathe her, once every two weeks. She dislikes it actively, in fact I
|could swear that she "scents" herself up on purpose again afterwards...
I have found that my ferrets start to get oily and scented whenever they
get anxious or upset - hence possibly ruining the point of a bath. I
give all of my ferrets showers instead -- they disliked it the first
few times, but they get used to it, and don't even mind at all anymore.
I suppose that is because the fear of drowning or being forced to swim
is dispelled. Also, I tend to give them a hefty helping of ferretone
when they are done, so they can expect that when I am washing them.
|So - what have others used to bathe their ferrets so as to keep them sweet?
I use "human" shampoo and conditioner. White Rain conditioner, to be
exact, and my ferrets are always soft and smell-free afterwards (and
manageable and bouncy!! ;-) (jeez, almost a commercial...)
Enjoy,
Sagittarius Excalibur, Maxmillion Fantastic and Dave (that's me)
and currently boarding Scooter and Nina..
I want more! More!!
