Does tomato soup help eliminate the ferret odor?
 
I can't say I've really tried it, but can offer an possible explanation.
The more often you bathe a ferret, the stronger the smell.  The shampoo
seems to strip out the oils, which are replaced-the fresh oils have that
ferrety smell.  The odor seems to diminish about 3-4 weeks after their last
bath.
 
If a person thought that tomato soup baths reduced the odor and therefor
only bathed the ferret once a month or less, then indeed, the smell would be
less because they weren't bathing him as often, not necessarly the result of
anything in the tomato soup.
 
Just a thought.
