The Basics Of Enjoying A Pet Ferret

Are you looking for a great animal companion, but need something smaller than a dog yet more social than most cats? Or have you always wanted to have a pet farret (properly spelled, “ferret”) in your household? In any case, here are a few things you should be aware of beforehand.

To get started, you need to decide through what avenue you will acquire your new friend. Naturally, pet stores are the most common first choice for the majority of people. The classifieds sections of newspapers can be used as well. However, there are several shelters and rescue societies that take in unwanted and abused animals. Adopting is a great option because you are saving a life!

Clean and comfortable housing for him is an essential. You will want to find and purchase a suitable type of ferret cage. Most commonly used are plastic-coated wire cages or a kitty-condo, which has more than one level. Both are acceptable, but the bottom should be lined with a towel or some sort of soft fabric. Don’t forget the litter pan, food and water dishes, and a cozy sleeping space! They love hammocks and fabric tunnels!

A healthy diet is perhaps the most essential part of caring for any type of creature. Ferrets are carnivores and need a steady diet of protein. They cannot digest fiber well, so it should be mostly avoided. Look for turkey or chicken as the first and primary ingredient in their food. While dog and cat food should not be fed, a high-quality kitten chow is alright for treats or emergencies.

One of the key differences between the ferret and other small pets, such as mice and hamsters, is that they need a lot of exercise and socialization. Ideally, you need to be able to offer at least three hours of time outside its cage each day. Of course, you have to always supervise, because they are quite inquisitive and will get into everything! They will play with almost anything, especially ferret toys and love games. There are even harnesses and leads so you can walk them outside.

A carefully monitored diet and plenty of play time and affection are the elements of care that most people immediately think of. However, if you want your friend to live as long as possible and be in good health, there are other things you’ll want to see to. Make sure you give the occasional bath, clean his ears, and keep his nails trimmed. Keep your yearly veterinarian appointments. He will need both rabies and canine distemper shots once each year. Look into heart worm preventative as well.

So, there you have the very basics of pet ferret ownership! They are delightful creatures and wonderful pets for people of any age. They will give you companionship for many years if they are well cared for.
