Why would you bath a ferret?Too many people getting their mind polluted by the feckin fluffy ferret brigade.

 

 

Because the last two kits brought some little visitors from down south with them .So the lot got a shampoo and set and i clipped there nails

Sometimes washing is essential, I will give you a classic example of that , a ferret took in , found wandering was covered in some sort of engine oil it had picked up on its travels, now i did the fluffy thing and bathed it , using fairy liquid to cut through the oil,it was either that or leave it to wash its self clean & inject christ knows what

Ferrets are naturally clean animals ...its usually dirty conditions that make them smell and grubby...like has been said...clean livin and sleeping quarters and access to fresh air should see a clean and relativley smell free ferret...as for fleas and ticks well thats a different scenario altogether...atb stabba

I've met some people that keep ferrets indoors. You wouldn't believe the lengths some of these people go to. Bell collars for them. Baths twice a week. Hats, clothes, an they meet up for wee playground. An that's just 'THE ONE'

I sometimes wonder what makes people tick , especially with silly outfits they stick on there animals, a dog coats one thing but some of the stuff out there is bizarre at best

In certain circumstances I understand the need to bath a fert but as a few have said if they're cleaned out regular they keep themselves clean enough.

You won't win one if you do, all the judges at the shows mine go to mark the animals down if it doesn't smell like a proper ferret.

Relatively smell free...theres a difference.....for instance....take a nice clean looked after ferret and a badly managed ferret..put em together...bet the well looked after ferret is relativley smell free at the side of the badly managed 1...atb stabba

if you change what bedding you use weekly it should get rid of a lot of the smell. i dont particularly

find intact hobs over smelly if there kept in a clean cage , thats whay i use paper because my washer cant cope with dog bedding & ferret bedding

[fcuktheban 140]

I keep my jill indoors because their are some thieving c*nts around my way that would gladly take her. Once I get a lock for my outdoor enclosure I'll be much happier not having to bathe a ferret. It doesn't make me soft or want to dress it up. I just don't want my house to stink and before anyone says it I clean the cage daily.

anyone use hibby scrub?

 

I only use Hibiscrub for wound cleaning, or for washing my hands before cleaning wounds. It's pretty potent stuff, not great for use as a shampoo and pretty expensive so I tend only to use it when it's warranted.
