They need to have food and water available at all times. For short periods of time, I wouldn't suggest leaving them alone for more than about 12-14 hours

Is a ferret okay without another ferret?

Ferrets can be okay by themselves - as long as they have plenty attention from humans and plenty of time out of their cage. My ferret is an only ferret after his cagemate died of old age at 9 years. I do not cage him, letting him free roam in a ferret proof bedroom, and I play with him a lot as he does demand my attention. If your ferret is going to be alone if you are away from home frequently, like for a job or school, then another ferret would be needed for companionship.

Is ferret proofing a house much like child proofing?

Yes ferret proofing is very much like for a child. A bit, but the ferret is even smaller and have the ability to climb so extra precautions must be made. Never let a ferret be alone in the room unless you've VERY sure it's safe, even after several years they might find a new way to get into trouble :)


You were raising five orphaned kittens and your pet ferret slipped into their room one night and killed them all Why would the ferret do this because he gets along with your other cats?

Ferrets are naturally hunting animals - they used to be used for flushing hares/rabbits out of their burrows (in a similar way to how small dogs are sometimes used now; hence why ferrets should not be left alone with rabbits). They have adapted their bendy bodies and sharp teeth to become specifically designed for hunting small animals down burrows. So having 5 small kittens in the house were a easy target for the ferret - it didn't even have to chase them underground. I suspect that your ferret doesn't so much as "get along" with your other cats, and is instead "not be big enough to fight them, so leaves them alone".
