How To Bathe Your Ferret

     First thing, make sure you don't bathe your ferret too much. Their bodies will produce extra oils which will make them smell very bad.
     When you run the bath make sure the water isn't too hot or cold. Nice and warm is good. Make sure the water isn't deep. They should be able to touch the bottom and shouldn't be swimming. Also let the get used to the water but slowly putting them in the bath. Let them soak in the water for a little then apply shampoo and make sure it's for ferrets(baby shampoo wforks too).
     Make a good lather all over their back, legs, tail, belly, and neck. Don't wash their face with shampoo. When rinsing slowly put them under water. Make sure all the shampoo is rinsed out. Also make sure you don't dunk their heads underwater.
     Take a towel and dry all the dripping water so they are damp. Then you can place the towel in the bath to they can towel dry themselves (trust me they can!). After I like to spray them with deodorizer and give them a treat. The treats I give them are N-Bone Ferret Chew Sticks, Ferret Tone, and Ferret Lax.
     You only should bathe your ferret once a month TOPS.
