>Hi, My name is Erin and I was wondering how often I should bath my ferret. >I've heard every month to twice a year. If some one could help I would be >very great-full. hi erin, i give my ferrets a bath once a month...or more often if they need it...mine like to run in and out of the shower when i am in it... ;-) if they have blackheads on their tail...just scrub their tail 2 times a week with something like sebolux (get it from a vet)...(or u can use regular ferret shampoo)..but only there tail... i was washing my ferrets like everyweek...and that was the worst mistake i could have ever done...it messed up there whole system...they were muskier than normal (really strong)..there coat wasnt right...and etc...so once a month with a "FERRET" shampoo is just fine...if you want to go longer than that is fine too...as long as i clean there cage everyday and ws there bedding in woolite 1 to 2 times a week (more if needed) and wash there cage 1 a week...i find that really i dont have to wash them so often... some of my ferrets are not descented so mine will have a tendency to have a really strong smell...kitkat smells like a burnt vaccum cleaner belt when she sprays....im telling the truth....its funny!!! hope this helps!!
