Yes and No. Ferrets don't need to be bathe, they groom themselves and stay clean. Water and food bowls will be tipped over, use heavy crock or non-tipping bowls. Ferrets will not potty around their food area. Ferrets have a rapid digestive system and potty about every 3 to 4 hours, If they are out of the cage and need to go, they can't hold it, and will seek out the first available corner (have extra litter pans or put newspaper in the corners). Ferrets like to hide things, like food and toys, and food can spoil (if feeding ferrets food that might spoil, don't give them more than they can eat).
