How do give a flying squirrel a bath? NONE of the over 20 websites I went to said anything.

Use shampoo for Ferrets or small animals. This should be the proper stuf to use. Most items designed for Ferrets should work for a squierel too.

Why do you need to give it a bath? Flying squirrels don't have any odour -- does she have something sticky in her fur or something?

I imagine that you could just put a little bowl of water in her cage?

I didn't know you got one, you didn't have one 4 days ago. I thought you were saving your money until your parents could take you to Ohio get one.

It's my friend's, but she doesn't have internet.:( That's why I was asking, I'm still waiting for mine. They're almost $200, expected a lot, but not that much. The reason I said I didn't want to hurt her, is because I didn't want to give my friend the wrong info.
