I have found a way to virtually eliminate both body and cage odors. My secret is a product called PET FRESH. It`s made by Arm and Hammer, and is sold as a carpet and room deodorizer,but if a small amount is shaken onto your ferrets bedding and litter box, you will find the odor gone !! The one I use is called Super Fresh, and it sells in pet shops for $1.44 for a 21 oz. box. Incidently,I bath my 4 ferts about once a month, and their bedding once a week, and the powder in their bedding gives them a very pleasant scent. [Posted in FML issue 2109]
