| If she has flaky skin, I wouldn't bathe her super often because it sounds like she may have dry skin. You may want to start out bathing her in oatmeal shampoo every 2 weeks at first... That's just my suggestion though. When do you get her? If she's 6 weeks old, it will probably be another 6 weeks before you get her, so the flaky skin might go away by then.

| I always use oatmeal bath on mine, and they don't even have dry skin. It just makes them look so nice.
