Ferrets have an odor that is unique to them, like any other pets you might have. Some people like the smell of a ferret, some can not stand it, while most people are right in between. Personally, the smell of a wet dog is disgusting in the world and in close second is from a litter box change! Although I can not say that I enjoy the natural smell of my little weasel, it's something I used to. If your ferret needs to be spayed or neutered, you will notice a big difference after you have done this. Male ferrets in particular a stronger odor than the females when they are un-neutered. Even younger kits will lose their scent, as they are a bit older.
If you have decided to "decline" your ferret, it will not alter the natural smell of your pet daily. In this method, the scent glands are removed in the vicinity of the tail to prevent the animal from shedding an unpleasant musky odor when it is frightened (much like a skunk, though not so awful!) Getting. This process does not stop the normal everyday oils secreted by glands in the skin nature of the beast. This is natural and something that you get used to it, like any other animal.
A few things you can do to reduce the smell from your ferrets are clean his bedding often and less often to bathe your pet. I know it sounds strange, they bathe less, but the reason is really quite simple. Right after you bathe your ferret, their skin glands ultimate in overdrive and try the outer oils that you fill washed away. In reality, your pet can smell worse than it started for a few days after bathing.
Most of the smell of your ferret is usually not really on the animal itself, but in the fabric of his sheets, on paper or litter, and on your carpets and furniture. Another thing that can make the smell is better minor changes to your pets diet. If you want to feed your pet food with chicken and lamb as opposed to foods with fish, you can make a big difference in the smell of your ferret and his litter box. Your weasel is also an intense smell in the spring and fall, because it is still its natural elimination season.
There are also products that you buy, like Ferret Sheen powder can. You can also feel more comfortable with an air filter system of some sort, there are many available.
