Fry In The Bath!

[xautomaticflowersx]

Here is Fry in the bath. I don't usually bath my ferrets as I don't think it's necessary, but Fry always seems to end up covered in one unpleasant thing or another so sometimes it's unavoidable.
Soapy Fry...

Grab the plug!

Drying off...

And for good measure, here's an action-shot of Slinky and Muddle playing in the run!

Awww, so cute! In this first one, you can almost see him thinking "Now how can I get out of here...".

Grabbing out the plug, that's too cute.

lol thanks everyone!
In the first picture he was looking up at some shampoo bottles (which ended up being pulled into the bath). He's only ever been bathed twice, but both times he snorkeled under the water after the plug. It's so cute... he picks the plug out and comes over to show it to me. Haha... but he won't let it go easily once he's got it! I put my fingers in his mouth either side to make him let go, but once I'd loosened the plug free he just grabbed my finger instead .
Drying off is always the fun part though... ferrets will slide back and forth on their bellies like penguins to dry off. He gets a bit over-excited during drying off time! He forgets that I don't have tough ferret skin when he bounces about and nips me to make me chase him (I have a bath-time bruise or two from naughty nips!)

Aww they are cuties, what shampoo do you use? I have to bath my guinea pigs quite often as some of them have long hair and the best shampoo i have found is from this site http/www.gorgeousguineas.com/index.html loads of people bath their dogs with the same stuff so it should be fine for ferrets too.

I use 'Ferretsheen', which is specifically designed for ferrets. Fry's only ever had two baths before as I don't think that bathing ferrets is necessary... it just messes up the oils in their skin and coat. If their bedding is changed regularly and their house is cleaned out every day they stay clean enough! The first time I bathed Fry was because I had just given all my ferrets some raw egg and one of the silly younger ferrets tried to grab a mouthful of it to go and stash... but obviously it ran out of his mouth and it landed on Fry / Ugh... it went all in his ear and over his face. Not very nice! This time around he'd managed to fall in the poo corner when he was playing and needed sorting out! So I only ever bath my ferrets if they've actually become dirty. Obviously long haired animals like your little piggles need a different sort of care.
Hehe... -cAtFiSh- and mr_miagi32 - you'd need a pair of ferrets at least because they need the company of their own kind
