What about yellow tail? My Victoria is all white but her tail is rather yellow. I don't bathe them and know that it's not good to bathe them more than three times a year anyway. Should this be a concern? Also, does it hurt or bother them if they get water in their ears? I know that it has led to earaches when I get it in my ears. I don't know how they would react to a bath. The main reason that I don't bathe them is that the bathroom here has a number of potential escape routes, and I don't want to risk it. OTOH, they are so bored, and I know that some ferrets just love to play in the water, so it might be fun for them. Gary [Posted in FML issue 4324]
