going crazy

Question
Hi, after I give my ferret a bath, she she starts going crazy! She wiggles and struggles when I try to dry her, and after I do, all her fur sticks up, especially her tail. And after I put her down, she starts going crazy. She hits her tail on the ground and starts like wagging it sideways. She also starts rubbing herself against the carpet, and also the sides of the walls. I was wondering if this is normal behavior, or is there something I can do to prevent her from going crazy?

Answer
It is normal post-bath behavior.  You just cleaned all of their smell off them and they are a little excited, wet, and probably frustrated (because now they smell like soap).  There isn't anything you can do to prevent the running around and bottle brush tail, it just happens.
