Hi - I am about to buy a ferret.
This is a good web site it has told me what I am in for. Can you give me some more tips for when I buy my ferret and how to make sure he stays healthy please!!
FIRST THING - A NICE SIZE CAGE, LOTS OF HAMMOCKS, BEST FOOD IS TOTAL FERRET FOOD.I LIKE CORN COB BEDDING - EASIER TO CLEAN.
IF THE FERRET IS FIVE MONTHS OLD, GO TO THE VET AND GET THEIR SHOTS, LIKE RABIES SHOT AND DISTEMPER SHOT EVERY YEAR.
KEEP ALL HAMMOCKS CLEAN, WASH THEM AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. CLEAN WATER AND FOOD DISH DAILY; CLEAN THE CAGE EVERY COUPLE OF DAYS; THE LITTER PAN EVERY DAY.
THEY CAN BE BATHED IN THE SUMMER AT LEASE ONCE EVERY TWO MONTHS; EARS NEED TO BE CLEANED VERY THREE WEEKS; NAILS NEED TO BE CLIPPED EVERY TWO TO THREE WEEKS.
LET THEM RUN AROUND FOR PLAY TIME. MY TWO FERRET THAT I GOT AFTER BANDIT PASSED LOVE TO PLAY WITH BOXES, THE DOG'S TOYS, PLASTIC BAGS, SLIPPERS, KEYS, MY HUSBAND'S FOOTBALL AND BASEBALL. THEY GET IN TO EVERYTHING.
I MADE THE A BALL OF PLASTIC PING PONG BALLS. THEY LOVE ANY TYPE OF BELLS.
THERE IS A FERRET SPRAY OUT THERE TO HELP IF THEY GET THE FERRET SMELL. IT IS BABY FRESH SCENT, IT HELPS IN THE WINTER MONTHS.
THEY WILL BITE A LITTLE SO GIVE THEM A VERY LIGHT TAP ON THE NOSE AND SAY NO BITE!
MY MALE FERRET COJO LOVES TO CUDDLE AND FEMALE SUMMER JUST RUNS AND JUMP AND PLAYS UNLESS SHE WANTS SOMETHING, THEN SHE WILL LOVE BITE.
PUT A LITTER PAN OUT WHEN THEY PLAY SO THEY CAN GO OR YOU WILL HAVE A MESS TO CLEAN UP.
BUT THEY ARE THE BEST PETS TO HAVE AFTER A BAD DAY AT WORK. THEY DO GET ALONG WITH DOGS AND OTHER PETS BUT IF YOU ARE SICK, STAY AWAY FROM THEM AS YOU CAN GIVE THEM YOUR COLD.
