I'm sure the ferrets >share my opinion ;-) BIG] BIG, Amen to that! I can't tolerate artificial scents at all, even in bath soap or laundry detergent. I love the way my ferrets smell. Each of them has a slightly different aroma, as distinct as their personalities. I never bathe them, unless someone gets into something messy. I keep their bedding and litter boxes clean, that's all it takes. Friends who come to my house will often say something like, "I thought ferrets smelled; but your ferrets don't smell at all!" (Personally, I think most people are de-sensitized to natural scents because their noses are overwhelmed with strong perfumes. My ferrets DO smell; they smell great!).
