In the NYC area it's starting to get a tad hottish (next couple of days are supposed to be in the 80s range). I am trying to keep the ferrets nice and cool (and avoid using the ac when possible, I freeze pretty easy).

I know that bathing them too frequently is a bad idea due to increased oder and possibly further drying their skin. What if we skip the shampoo step? If I go right to the Marshall Creme Rinse Conditioner (which should condition their skin?) would that stimulate the oder-causing oils as well?
