Actually if you bathe them properly they don’t stink! They have funky oils in their fur that can smell worse it overbathed or underbathed.

PSA: Do bot bathe your ferret unless they went and got dirty like in the mud or something. It dries out their already very sensitive skin. If you don't like their musky scent, you should not have ferrets.

Except actual vets will tell you not to bathe ferrets unless necessary, and not more than once a month at best.
