How long does a Ferret need to take a bath,and about how much water should be in the bath tub for it,thanks.?

you need to bathe your ferret at most every 6 months the more you bathe them the more oils they produce and that is what makes them stink! and as to how long you should bathe them, as long as they will tolerate the water, do not fill your tub to full i just full enought so they an barely touch the base of the tub the best idea is to bathe them in the sink! Also remember that ferrets have high body temperaters so dont make the water too cold for them and give them a nice warm towel to burrow in when you are done! good luckHow long does a Ferret need to take a bath,and about how much water should be in the bath tub for it,thanks.?
yea you shouldnt bathe it more than once a month...unless you want it stinkier and to get skin problems.


Right when i got my ferret i gave her a bath since she was really stinky from being in one cage with 6 other ferrets and a dirty litter box at the pet store.


I bathe her in the tub with about 2 or 3 inches of water so she can stand or dive if she wants.


But she doesnt really like taking baths and she will try to climb up my arm so i usually sit in the tub with her to make her feel better :DHow long does a Ferret need to take a bath,and about how much water should be in the bath tub for it,thanks.?
It's not really how long your ferret needs a bath. Just put your ferret in enough water to scoop on her (wash her in a small container or sink to save water), get her wet, scrub her, rinse her, scrub her again, rinse her, and dry her off. So long as she smells nice and clean, your good. ^_^
you should have enough water for ur fuzzbut to swim, but also have it low enough so they can stand up.





it can take as long or as short as you and ur fert want it to... just have fun!!!





some fuzzbutts don't like water... but u just gotta tell it to suck it uppppp haha





i love giving my Bella a bath... it's so much funnnn


Enjoy!


I Hope I Helped!

oh and to david l


ferrets who are bathed every two weeks are SUPPER smelly... you don't want to bathe ur fert more than once a month. if you bathe it too often, their skin works extra hard to regenerate the oils lost in the bath, strengthening their odor. you can put bi-odor in the water. it makes the fuzzbut smell more sweet and musky than dirty and musky ^ _ ^
I used to bathe my ferret in the sink, just hold her , soak her under the faucet and soap her up with baby sopa and then rinse...Took about 5-10 minues
every two weeks.
