We find that they are best with a "Free and Clear" detergent of any brand used for the
bedding and NO fabric softener.
There are some animal product conditioners or creme rinses that can be used after
shampooing which can help reduce irritation. I know that we have gotten some from J&R
and I think also from The Ferret Store when that existed and from Ferret Depot so current
places for ferret products should have some.
Yes, there are such products still:

In Amazon.com

search using
ferret creme
and
ferret conditioner
but I don't see any in
http://www.ferret.com/Grooming.aspx?CatID=174&category=Grooming&subcategory=
though you should check anyway because I might have missed it
There will be other, more general animal needs merchants, and of course local retail
stores.
I do not know if any of the spray on ones for ferrets are ones that can put later on a dry
coat and then dried to help reduce itchiness.
If you had said that only one was itching we would have all wondered about adrenal
disease, but it is all.
BTW, have they been checked for fleas just to be thorough, though the recent shampooing
and the dryness in Winter are probably enough of an explanation.
