After almost 9 years experience with nearly 50 pet ferrets (we rescue and keep them all!), I can tell you that ferrets generally like to eat soap. Although you may not notice any obvious consequences, soap-eating cannot possibly be good for them. Ferrets also love the smell of soap, and Scooter may be attracted to the scent left in the tub after your shower. I would recommend simply rinsing the soap residue out of the tub after showers, then go ahead and let him play in there, licking all the water that he wants. [Posted in FML issue 1688]
