Ferrets have a bad odor?

Ferrets have an odor all their own, much like any other pet. Some people liken the smell musky, while some can not stand. If your ferret is not neutered, it will reduce a lot of the smell, Castrated males do not have a particularly strong odor. The puppies instead, have their own peculiar smell, losing with growth.

There is no way to eliminate overnight the smell of the ferret. Often it will remove the glands around the anus, This prevents the ferrets to release a foul smelling odor when scared or excited (sfurettare), but does not eliminate the musky odor that is produced from all the glands under the skin of the ferret.


Two things you can do to reduce your ferret odor are: Bathing less often and clean the litter box more often. The majority of the smell remains in the fabric, on litter, on the floors and furniture; not on your ferret. Frequently clean the area occupied by your ferret ladder can be a great help. Also, immediately after bathing the skin glands of the ferret accelerate the production of oils to replenish those that have washed away, so for a few days after bathing the ferret actually smell worse. You may notice that your ferret smells more during spring and autumn.

Many people use, successfully, some brands of fragrance spray for ferrets. Generally can be used daily, but the sensitivity of each ferret to such products may vary, so be sure to pay close attention to instructions for use of each product and keep an eye on your ferret after using the product on him.

  2. I have 2 male rats in a ferret cage. They are sllmaer boys, so they are about the size of females and they cannot escape from the cage. I think your rats will be fine. Once you have the cage, put them inside and keep an eye on them for awhile and if they can get out, maybe take some chicken wire. Put the wire on the outside of the cage. Was this answer helpful?
