well if the bugs r red then they r mites and can cause them 2 scratch themself but other than that idk what they r..
I bathe my ferrets about once a week, but I don’t always use shampoo or conditioner when I bathe them. About once a month I use actual product, the other times, I’m just getting them wet…I agree, doing it too often is way harmful, what she’s talking about is ridiculous.
i thought u wash them once a month?? IDIOT PERSon
lol calm down…AHHHHHHHHHHHH
EVERY OTHER WEEK? ARE YOU CRAZY???!!!!!!
You must bath your ferret like about once every 2 months. Once a month is a bit too much especially for ferrets whose owners never take them outside.
“Watch an exotic animal health technician explain how to bathe a pet ferret” BLAH BLAH BLAH!!! YOU HAVEN’T EVEN WASH ONE AND SHOW US HOW TO HOLD HIM AND OTHER STUFF LIKE THAT!!!
BUT AGAIN ONCE A WEEK IS WAY TOO MUCH YOU STUPID!!!
i agree completly. I bath my two ferrets at least one every 2 months. Every other week is WAY to much!
my ferret has been itching like crazy recently and i think it might be fleas but i have never actually seen them on her. i have seen 2 small spider looking bugs close to her but they didnt look like flease. please tell me what to do because i really dont know what to think
Every-other week is way to much 1 time a month is enough! I have seven where did they get this dumbass??? Extra care animal hospital should do some more research.
I use once a month kitten flea drops, they work fine.
EVERY OTHER WEEK???!!! NOO WAY! You should not bathe your ferret more than once a month!!!! IDIOT
Doesn’t the powder mess up their repstoriaty system?
Wtf. O-O
get flea powder for a kitten or small animal and bathe her once a week also use a spray on the bedding and change it regularly til the infestation dies down, I used johnsons insecticidal powder and wash her with a flea repellant shampoo
my ferret has fleas, and i’m having a hard time killing the problem. when i bathe her with the flea shampoo she acts like it is killing her. i’m so torn on how to fix this…
another useless video.. she should wash one and SHOW us how
wow she’s hot!
Spot rinse their face get under the throat area and forehead part. Make sure you dry them well but very gently, leave them to dry in the towel and make sure the trip from the bathroom to the cage is not cold… the room with their cage should be warm to slightly cool place them in the cage and let them eat and drink some food and water getting a bath is tough on a ferret.
I have been reading up on ferrets and from what I know is you should bath them at least once to two times a month, to often is not good for the build up their gland musk and it causes dry skin that often flakes. To bath a ferret run your bathtub water on the warmer side lather the ferret with water, do not wet their head keep this part of them dry. Rub in your ferret shampoo or baby tear free shampoo on them from the neck down then rinse. clean their ears gently no water should go inside them.
once a month mine still stink after a bath.
They do that for all their topics, not just animal care. I can imagine the director after the first take of the video: “Cut! Okay, that was good, but it was too informative. Can you cut back of the usefulness a little bit? We need more room for intro graphics and to plug your hospital.”
when Male ferrets get old the tend to smell like pee like my one . we had a female but she died because we didnt mate her
I think we can all agree that we’ll NEVER agree on how often to bathe a ferret.
There are so many variables: Is the ferret kept indoors as a pet? Outdoors as a working animal? Male/Female, Spayed/Neutered ect…
I personally find that once a month works fine for me and my ferret. I also change out the bedding regularly as I find it holds most of the odour.
I will no doupt be told by someone that I am WRONG WRONG WRONG. But as long as my ferret is happy, I’ll carry on as is.
I HATE How Expertvillage makes videos about animal care, yet they never SHOW you how to do it “You should bathe them”—Ok, HOW?
I bathe mine once or twice a year. The key is to make sure their litter is changed regularly (several times a week for me with 2) and to wash their bedding every other week.
wat is a good ferret flea product
