This is in response to the woman with 7 ferrets who says that she bathes her ferrets once a year: Once a year? Don't they stink if you don't bath them more often than that? Don't they scratch themselves and stuff from the dirt? Trixie gets a bath once a week if she's stinkin', once every two weeks if she's not scratching herself to death by then. I know the baths don't dry her out because she never itches after a bath, only about a week later. We use FerretSheen on her to decrease that "ferret smell" they all have.
