Here's a suggestion. I've never had to do it, so it's only a theory in thought. How about putting the soak solution in a bathtub of water that is about 1 inch deep. Set your ferret in it (all four feet though) and then offer Ferretone to keep them from trying to drink the water. She will be in it, can't get out, and preoccupied. Hope this helps. :-) April and the LOVES Ferrets Luna Orion Venus Eros Sola [Posted in FML issue 2997]
