Pet Ferrets, are often considered a rare pet to own. Most individuals choose dogs, cats, birds, or fish to complete their family, however a select few turn to the ferret for its social, playful and curious qualities.

Let’s dive right in.

The Lure of Having Pet Ferrets

Pet ferrets love to play and explore not only with others and their owners, but also on their own. For this reason, you need to know a few things on how to take care of a ferret.

First, you will want to ferretproof your home before you introduce them as pets. They will crawl into walls, furniture, and anywhere they can get their little bodies. It is much like childproofing a home for a baby.

Dangers

You will want to make sure all of the dangers are eliminated when you allow them out of their cages for playtime.

Ferrets are also biters. The kits, baby ferrets, tend to bite more. You can eliminate the problem or tone it down with frequent handling. It is a sign of their behavior as mock fighting or sparring.

Teething

The younger ferrets tend to bite more when they are teething and do not mean any harm. For this reason, you will want to handle the pet ferrets as often as possible to help reduce the biting behavior.

Often those who do not take the time or patience to train their pet ferrets end up leaving the animal in its cage and thus it has a shorter lifespan.

Training Pet Ferrets

Please make sure you are up to the task of training a ferret before bringing one into your home. Trained properly they can be as great a pet as cats or dogs.

A ferret’s lifespan is usually six to ten years, however proper care and feeding can lead to a little longer life.

Ferrets are carnivores so they require a high protein diet.

Feeding

Most owners decide to feed their pet ferrets mice, rats, rabbit, and other raw meats such as chicken. Stores carry other types of ferretfood that many owners choose over the live food.

Carefully reading the label will tell you if it has the proper high protein diet. Most kitten food can be used for example because it is designed to be high protein and fat for growing cats.

Sleeping

While play is an important part of your ferret’s life so is sleep. Most ferretsspend fourteen to eighteen hours a day sleeping. Part of sleeping is to rejuvenate them from the active play life they have.

They love to explore and to play with toys. Many pet stores have toys for ferrets, or you might have something around the house that your pet ferrets will find appealing.

Cage

The type of cage is important. Ferrets tend to be very smart so you will need a cage they can get plenty of air, but small enough bars they cannot break away.

You will also want to clean the cage once or twice a week depending upon the number of pet ferrets you have, and how dirty the cage looks. They are also burrowers, so some type of bedding is required.

Pet Ferrets are Worth It

Pet ferrets are little balls of fur that love to play and interact with humans and each other. While there are some special concessions you need to make to have a ferretthe results are worth it. Proper training as a kit will give you even more joy when they reach adulthood.

Now I’d like to hear from you.

Pets are humanizing. They remind us we have an obligation and responsibility to preserve and nurture and care for all life.
Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened.
