You can use a mild shampoo like products made for babies (baby shampoo). It is best if you use products specifically for ferrets only. Just be aware that ferrets don't necessarily need to be bathe.

∙ 11y agoNo. Ferrets should only be washed with special ferret shampoo unless you vet recommends something else. Make sure not to wash your ferret too often (every 4-5 months at most) or their skin will begin to produce more oil. The oil in the ferrets skin contains their scent, so washing the ferret too frequently will actually result in your ferrets odor increasing.
