When should I cage my two ferrets and when should I let them free roam?
Ferrets are not caged animals, but you cage them for their protection. Most ferret owners cage ferrets when they're not at home or unable to supervise them when free roaming. Ferrets need about 4 hours daily time out of their cage in a ferret proofed environment. Ferrets being burrowing animals by nature are subject to crawl and fall asleep into places that can be dangerous and you cannot get them out, like in major appliances, couches, recliners (very dangerous for ferrets). I personally do not cage my ferrets, but keep them in a bedroom totally ferret proofed so they are safe
