Is it difficult to bathe ferrets? You'll find that it's easier than you think. If you want to give your ferret a bath, follow these step by step instructions:

 


Run some luke warm water into a basin. With the water still running, thoroughly wet your ferret's fur.


Pour some shampoo onto the fur and rub it into a rich lather. Don't forget the head - fleas love to congregate here. Make sure you use a good quality shampoo, one that is formulate especially for ferrets or for kittens. You can find good quality grooming products here.


Dampen a Q-tip and insert it straight down into your ferret's ear, as demonstrated. Gently rotate and remove. If it is dirty, repeat with a fresh Q-tip until the ear is clean.


Rinse your ferret under luke warm water, and gently squeeze the excess water from the fur. Pour on a conditioner or rinse and distribute evenly through the fur.


Rinse your ferret thoroughly under luke warm water, not forgetting the head and under the chin and arms. Ensure that all traces of shampoo and conditioner are removed from the fur, because it could cause irritations if not washed away properly.


Towel dry your fuzzy with a soft towel. When you set your ferret down, watch out for a mad run accompanied by ruffling fur and shaking tails... oh, it feels so great to be clean!
