Hello Fellow FMLers After reading a post yesterday about dry skin in a ferret, I thought I would share my solution. I am a cosmetologist and it took me a while to realize that I could apply my profession to helping my ferrets. I use TEE TREA shampoo. It stimulates the oil glands to help hydrate the skin and scalp. Paul Mitchell makes one(they also make a conditioner and a bath bar in the Tea Tree, for all you humans with dry skin), and Mastercuts makes one. Mastercuts is the less expensive of the two, but it is only sold at Mastercuts salons. And the best part---Neither Paul Mitchell or Mastercuts tests their products on animals.:) Using this shampoo has greatly improved mine and my ferrets dry skin. Hey Dervish, maybe after you get your clientel going, you could come work at my salon :) Tracilyn Chewie, Crash, and Flo Jo: "scratch, scratch, scratch--BATH---AAAWWWWW, much better Mom" [Posted in FML issue 2569]
