I've been using Aveeno, Natural Colloidal Oatmeal (100% oatmeal), Bath Treatment, for our ferret Truman. We had Aveeno left over from when our kids (two-legged) had the chicken pox and the pediatrician recommended it for the itching. It seems to work for Truman and I haven't seen her scratch at all since we've started using it. If Truman is especially "dirty" I'll use a tiny bit of baby shampoo, but usually I just let her soak in the tub-water with Aveeno and that gets her plenty clean.
