my ferret also scratched when she woke up and it was alot of scrathing, i
got concerned. Turned out that he skin and coat were dry and causing her
to itch. all I use is a conditioning spray on her everyday and it seems to
make her feel better. The spray is by Refresh and is called Ferret
Deodorizing and Conditioning Spray. I got it at PetSmart. So, if you are
worried about your ferret scrathing too much, and see no fleas or no
obvious skin irritation, try this stuff. Good luck!
