That's a good question! Well... 1] when your first take the ferret out of the cage, he/she may still be sleeping. Wake your ferret up and then wait a few minutes for your ferret to get energy.. {your ferret may need to go to the bathroom when he/she first wakes up so wait 5 minutes total before taking your ferret out.} 2] Once your ferret has gone to the bathroom and woken up some, take your ferret into a room [big enough so they can run around for a while] but not so big that they can get into trouble. Make sure that this room is ferret-proofed, meaning that there is no way they can hurt themselves [like getting stuck behind something ect..] 3] Your ferret will mostly Entertain himself, sniffing everything, and running around, but 2 ferrets will keep each other happier than just one. 4] Let your ferret play for 3 hours a day in that one room. If you have other bigger rooms that are ferret-proofed as well, you can let them play in those too. 5] Toys are great for ferrets, especially flexible black tubes! This will entertain them for hours! 6] Do NOT leave your ferret in a cage and forget about it. You MUST be prepared to let it out for a couple of hours morning and evening and interact with it, otherwise don’t get one. Hope I answered your question! HAVE FUN! FERRETS ARE AWESOME!

Why does you ferret get mad?

What do you mean by mad? If your ferret is tearing up stuff it probably is not getting as much time out of its cage as it should, ferrets should have 2-4 hours out of their cage a day. If you are gone/busy all day, you could get a bigger cage (if you can afford it) and another ferret for a play mate; but you should still give your ferret(s) one on one play time with you.If your ferret is biting you then you can spray bitter apple on your hand and that will detour any biting; however, if your ferret is a kit it's probably just tryng to play with you. Remember that a ferret's skin is tougher than a human's, so a gentle nip to a ferret means come play with me! But to you it hurts, heres a link to how to nip train your ferret.

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.


Can a small dog and a ferret to play together?

Any dog that has any type hunting instincts might perceive a ferret as prey and might hurt or kill. Always closely supervise your ferret when around any other animals, never leave them alone. Advice from another contributor: I wouldn't suggest that dogs and ferrets play together. Ferrets tend to play rough and bite when they play. This is why ferrets have a tough skin. The ferret might bite the dog too hard and possibly hurt him.


How many times do you play with your ferret?

Per day? Ferrets should get a minimum of four hours of outside-cage play every day. They're usually content to roam about in a ferret safe room, so you don't always have to play directly with them.
