Ferrets really don’t need to be bathed often. This is because they do a great job at cleaning themselves. However, there are times when you may need to bathe them. I give my ferrets a bath about two times a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, normally around shedding season to help get any loose hairs off so they aren’t licking/eating them. Hairballs are known to cause blockages in ferrets. They don’t regurgitate them like cats. I bathe my ferrets using oatmeal in some form or another, either ground or in a bathbomb from the pampered ferret, but a ferret safe shampoo works great too. • Ferrets have sebaceous glands over their bodies that produce oils. Over bathing your ferret causes the causes the sebaceous glands to over react and over produce these oils, resulting in an extra musky smell and dry irritated skin. • As a side note, pet stores often advertise ferrets as being descented, which is misleading to say the least. A ferret who is descented has had their anal secent glands removed, but this does nothing to stop the sebaceous gland secretion and will not stop your ferret from smelling a bit musky. The best ways I’ve found to reduce the musky smell is to keep their bedding and litter boxes clean. Spayed and neutered ferrets also have less of a smell than intact ferrets and most if not all ferrets sold by pet stores in the U.S. are spayed and neutered before they are sold. Spaying and neutering them so young comes with its own set of issues, which is a discussion for another video. • . • #ferrets #ferretlife #cuteferrets
