Hi again, Sorry to sound like a broken record here, but in many years of ferret ownership, I have found that the absolute best shampoo for my little ones is - SUAVE! Honest - it leaves them clean, the "extra body formula" doesn't strip their fur, they like the smell, and you just can't beat the price. True story: I had a kinda dumb friend in college who washed her little one in Woolite, on the theory that he was a "fine washable." The poor creature fluffed out into a big fur ball, and had that funky Woolite smell.... Actually, the best thing to do is not wash them unless they are dirty...
