My Illura *hates* baths, the only way I can bathe her (which isn't often)
is putting on an old shirt and taking her into the shower with me.  Lola
doesn't seem as freaked out about it but just wiggles a lot.  But of
course, both insist on poking hteir little heads into the shower while
im' in there.
 
To Faith who brought up spray bottles for misting ferrets: That's what I
do to keep my girls cool, and they seem to really like it.  I keep a spray
bottle of water in the fridge and spritz them when it's really warm (which
is often lately-- stupid dorm rooms).  Lola especially will just lie there
and enjoy it, saying the ferret version of "aaaaahhhh." Illura prefers to
dance around in the spray while I'm spritzing her, but i think she likes it
too.  Funny how she'll play in the spritz and splash in puddles and stick
her head in a water glass, but the second you try to give her an actual
bath, she's outta there.  I also give them a cup of ice cubes, they like to
stick their noses in it.
