Could I hear from ferret owners about pros and cons, please?

1 Answer

Answer :

Dogs go nuts over the ferret smell, ferrets are normally clean and non smelly animals . They require lots of care and time , it makes no difference on the animal if you make it sterile . The love to dig and jump about so lots of room ie a run attached to hutch , but with proper wire netting underneath so they do not dig out . Liver is feed when they are ill , they love blood filled cows hearts and toilet roll cardboard tubes to play in . Make the area they go into just like a rabbit warn if you can , lots of places for them to hide and do normal ferret things . And it makes feeding time more fun for them , try feeding live food ( if you can ) just as a once every so often thing keeps them alert . Well this is what i did anyway , when my brain kicks back into gear i will post more Oh and do not use a harness and leash they are silly , have a hoodie jumper the type with a one big pocket at the front just for the ferret .
