I've read alot the past few days about bathing, so here is my two cents worth. I agree with the guy who said there is a difference between having a bath "done to you" as apossed (sp?) to having it done "with you". Imagine a great big figure dunking YOU into a huge tub of water. I think I would be scared too. For those of you who might feel a little wierd taking a shower with your ferret, I have another suggestion. Put on an old pair of shorts and a t-shirt. Fill the tub up about ankle deep and climb in there with them. I have found that if my ferrets can see my feet (the part of my body they are most familiar with) they aren't as scared. You don't have to sit in the tub with them, just crouch down to thier level. Hope this helps! Britta "Wow! Is this a new water game? It must be because Mom is in here, too!" [Posted in FML issue 1558]
