2. Bathe a polecat not more often than 1 time a month not to break the mode of regeneration of the natural protective lubricant regulating a condition of fur and leather of a small animal. In certain cases (especially at rickets) puppies need to be bathed every day, but only after consultation with the experienced veterinarian. You watch that the water temperature in which you are going to bathe an animal was not above 37-38 °C.
3. Decide where you will bathe him: in a basin or in a bathtub. Some polecats with curiosity investigating the depths of a bucket with water when you do the damp cleaning, can put both you, and themselves injuries at the sight of a basin. Other zingers whom you decided "to rinse" in a bathtub can immediately begin to pretend that they sink or to escape furiously, causing also to itself, and the owner intolerable sincere and physical sufferings. Therefore prepare a polecat for the first in his life water procedure.
4. If you want to bath a small animal in a basin, "acquaint" him with future place for ablution. Place a polecat in an empty basin, let's it play a little, then add slightly warm water and put it favourite toys there. Give it an incentive tidbit.
5. If you plan to organize water procedures in a bathtub, put a small animal there, put near him toys, then pour a little water, regulating its pressure not to frighten off an animal noise. Give to a puppy delicacy. In advance build in a bathtub "island" from things or toys that the animal could have a rest in case it wants to swim for a while after bathing. Pour water in a bathtub approximately into 2-3 growth of an animal.
6. Prepare a big terry towel or a sheet, you watch that shampoo always was near at hand.
7. Moisten a hair of a polecat with water, and then carefully apply shampoo. If the small animal behaves quietly, massage to him pads, a tail, a back, a breast, a tummy. Accurately wash away shampoo, you watch that soap water did not get into eyes, ears and a mouth of an animal. Do not delay bathing, regardless of whether you hold a polecat suspended or he rests back pads against a bottom of a bathtub or a basin. You, perhaps, will not be tired to hold it, and here capture let and careful, but strong hands can bother a polecat. But if it suddenly wants to swim for a while, allow it it.
8. Well wipe a polecat after bathing. Put a small animal in his "lodge" (box or a cage), previously having put several dry towels there. You watch that the polecat did not jump out and did not continue process of wipe of a hair in some dusty corner. Do not forget that it is contraindicated to wet small animal to be on a draft.
