Odor and De-scenting
One of the most common statements about ferrets is that they have a bad smell. Most of a ferret's odour results from the influence of sex hormones on normal skin secretions. These secretions are drastically reduced when the भगाना, फेर्रेट is altered.
Being distantly related to skunks, ferrets also have anal scent glands that they can release at will, though they rarely spray unless they are fighting, mating या frightened. Descenting involves the removal of these scent glands, which are located at the base of the tail. Although ferrets do not need to be descented, if आप wish to eliminate the possibility of an unpleasant experience should your pet be frightened in a public place, consider having this done. It is a minor operation roughly equivalent to a human appendectomy in seriousness and discomfort. Your भगाना, फेर्रेट will be back to his active self in two या three days and he will never miss this natural defense. This increases your pleasure in your pet and makes him और attractive to others.
If your भगाना, फेर्रेट is altered and descented and still has a strong odour, the cause is usually the food. Change your ferrets diet - remember, if the खाना smells bad, so will the animal.
Hygiene
Once your भगाना, फेर्रेट has been fixed and descented, your भगाना, फेर्रेट will require a bath only every few months. Use a good quality "no-tears" human shampoo, preferably with a conditioner, which allows आप to wash the भगाना, फेर्रेट from nose to tail without causing any discomfort to the eyes. Be sure to wash around your ferret's neck and face, as there are additional scent glands located on the cheeks.
