No it is not. A lot of the ferrets scent comes from oil produced by its skin. Bathing the ferret too often causes the skin to produce more oil to replace the oil it lost from being washed. The more you bathe your ferret, the more oil their skin produces, the more they smell.

A ferret should only be bathe 2-3 times a year with special ferret shampoo.

Is a ferret okay without another ferret?

Ferrets can be okay by themselves - as long as they have plenty attention from humans and plenty of time out of their cage. My ferret is an only ferret after his cagemate died of old age at 9 years. I do not cage him, letting him free roam in a ferret proof bedroom, and I play with him a lot as he does demand my attention. If your ferret is going to be alone if you are away from home frequently, like for a job or school, then another ferret would be needed for companionship.

Can a ferret eat bologna?

A ferret can eat anything it darn well pleases. Bologna will probably cause some diarrhea, and if fed enough over long term the ferret will die young. Please don't feed your ferret bologna. A taste, okay, but not as regular feed. Heck, my ferret got ice cream cake for his birthday, but only a spoonful, and the other 364 days of the year it's kibble.
