Do you think its ok to give a ferret a bath with baby shampoo, ferrett shampoo is expensive?

Probably not...ferret fur and baby hair are very different. I doubt it would hurt the ferret, but it probably won't do a lot of good either. Plus the fragrances might be bad for him or his skin.Do you think its ok to give a ferret a bath with baby shampoo, ferrett shampoo is expensive?
actually dawn dish liquid is the best, my vet told me that, i am not making it up.. lol although i have also used just pet shampoo on mine too. use the conditioning pet shampoo though, because their skin dries out very easily , you are only suppose to bath them once every couple of months. be careful. i use the dawn to wash the nasty off of mine then the conditioning shampoo for his skin. good luck!!Do you think its ok to give a ferret a bath with baby shampoo, ferrett shampoo is expensive?
use dove dish washing soap it is animal friendly.....It is often used to clean animals who have been in oil spills...
If you are going to use baby shampoo, make sure it's diluted.


My mom used to groom dogs, and used diluted baby shampoo on them.


But I don't know much about ferrets.
No tears baby shampoo is okay, but ferrets shouldn't be bathed very often--it strips their natural oils, and they actually smell worse if they're bathed frequently.
i myself have recently acquired a ferret off a friend who could no longer care for him, i too researched the same thing and found that the general consensus said yes it was acceptable. a mild baby shampoo one such as ';Johnsons no more tears'; is ok for them. i gave it a try and it certainly did no harm to this once stinky male...its not 4 days later and he still smells of baby shampoo lol.
