If First Step is a type of clay cat litter, then no. Ferrets like to snorkel and dig in their litter and clumping/clay cat litters may stick to a ferret's nose or bottom, causing issues.

The best type of litter to use is a pelleted litter like Fresh News, Yesterdays News, Marshall ferret litter, or woodstove pellets

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 is okay to house a ferret in a wooden cage?

Wooden cages are fine and are used to build ferret cubs or hutches for ferrets housed outdoors in the UK. It's not necessary to paint the wood, instead use timber treatment sold for use on garden fences and outbuildings, and it has to be 100 % non toxic, with the manufacture's instructions followed implicitly. Never use creosote, it is poisonous. Ferrets need hard flooring, not mesh. Refer to the related question below "How to make a ferret cage"

What cage is best to use for guinea pigs?

Just get a big cage from a pet store that has little hiding places in it. Guinea pigs like to hide in small dark places. Rabbit cages would be okay to use too, but make sure you keep your guinea pig inside. Make sure that the bottom of the cage is smooth for the guinea pig. Wire at the bottom of the cage is too hard for it to walk on and painful. Also, get some shavings/bedding (little pieces of cut up wood or get it from a pet store) to line on the bottom of the cage that will make a comfy bed for your pet.


What is the best way to introduce your ferret to your dog?

How do you get your dog used to your ferretsFirst let the dog see the ferret in the cage, and note the reaction of the dog. You would be able to tell if the dog is trying to get at the ferret, that it might not be a wise idea for them to be together. If the dog seems to be okay after a few days you can try holding it keeping a safe distance just in case your dog goes after. Once it seems that the dog is okay with a ferret, let them interact, but make sure that the ferret has a enclosed nearby safe place to run to. Never leave other animals with ferrets unsupervised, watch them at all times.from another contributor: Keep them both in cages on different sides of the room then after they get calm move them closer then repeat that til there close and then try it with them out but holding them both and make sure your have them tight.
