Should I brush my ferret?
In between baths, I recommend
brushing your
ferret weekly, to remove dead fur and dust from
his coat. Use a soft-bristled
brush, which will be more comfortable for your
ferret.

Keep the cage and litter clean and it will help keep your
ferret smelling fresh.
Bathing tends to dry out the skin and coat, at most
bathe once a month. Unless your
ferret has gotten into something that needs to be washed off, a bath every two to three months is probably plenty.

Many
ferret owners give their pets a quarter spoonful of VCO (virgin coconut
oil) daily. This is to prevent hairballs and also acts as a laxative in case your
ferret has constipation. This allows feces to be passed easily. Others give this in order to give their
ferrets healthier and shinier fur.
