HI--
 
I've used a kitten stripping brush on my ferrets when I got hit with an
outrageous amount of shedding .  I got a small Kitten Stripping Brush from
the local pet store for around $4.  Unlike a brush it is designed to pull
out loose hair.
 
I think I couldn've built a new ferret out of the hair Mace lost last year
after going from living out doors in the winter to living indoors in the
spring.
