Subject: RE: Dry skin & foot pads

I've been reading allot about ferret's having dry skin, foot
pads etc. I buy Vitamin E gel caps, and break them open, and
add it to the ferret's shampoo. This helps moisturize the
skin, and makes the fur soft. I also apply it to the pads of
the paws, and it works great. I will apply it directly to the
skin if they get a boo boo.It's a bit messy, but works
wonders! They also like to lick it off my fingers as a treat!
It's totally natural and good for them!
