Have any of you done the bathing Shedding season is actually the only time of year that my ferrets get baths, except of course if they've gotten into anything messy during the rest of the year. I give them a bath when their shedding has become pretty heavy, and I find that the bath really loosens up a lot of fur-- in fact, they usually block up the hair catcher in the bathtub drain, and we're only talking two ferrets here. Both of mine would rather fight with the brush than be brushed by it, so for us, a bath is the best way to help cope with all that fur.
