I find a boil wash then a quick spin does wonders. you can always finnish them off in the dryer with some of that fresh and dry stuff my wife uses.

You can have your ferrets neutered (jills spayed, hobs castrated) It wil reduce the smell greatly as it stops oil been produced by their hormones which in turn makes

their coats a yellow/orange colour.

 

By bathing them they will smell more as it strips the natural oils out of their coat which their body has to work twice as hard to reproduce them which in turn makes them smell more. Please dont bath try and bath them everyday. Their coats will be ruined and end up with a ferret with skin problems. ( Cant belive people giving that sort of advice)

 

Even neutered ferrets, do have a faint smell to them. Trick is to keep their bedding, housing clean, feed a good diet.

isnt there smell the whole point of using them for work ? .

ares are under the dining room window and dont seem to cause any problems,i worry more about finding the rancid piece of chicken they have stashed away somewhere than there smell itself.

must admit when i first went near one it smelt but you dont notice it after a while,now they dont seem to really smell much.

Nope. Their prey drive, and rabbit's inherent fear of fast moving things with teeth is why we work them. Otherwise all ferrets would bolt rabbits, rather then the differing qualities of working ability.

smell is as important to the ferret as its teeth are, it uses it as we would use our facial expressions, have you not ever smelt an aggitated ferret scent is a very,very big part of most animals lives

But rabbits don't bolt because of the smell, that was the original statement.

its possible mate, ive had rabbits in nets in the past from just a terrier digging at a hole.so they can bolt to sound so why not smell after all, not all rabbits in a warren will be in stop ends and the rabbits only 2 means of defense are having no nerves in its arse end and its ability to run.

There's a difference between the sound of something coming, and a smell blowing through. You wouldn't expect rabbits to bolt if you dump our box by the hole and let the wind blow through.
