Quit bathing him so much. I've found that Pepperpot and Abu smell much less if I just change their bedding (towels) every few days. Go to your local thrift store and stock up on irregulars or whatever and change them out often. I use some fabric softener in the dryer to give the towels a fresh smell (my ferrets don't seem to mind, but be on the lookout for any kind of adverse reaction... just like some people may have). Also, IMHO I think that brushing seem to help a bit too. These days they hardly ever get a bath unless they've gotten in to something or I have taken them somewhere where they picked up some fleas. -Grant Grant Porter is: [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask] Ferrets and more seen at: http://furball.hayes.com/ Opinions are: completely derived from listening to rock music.
