it is actually better for ferrets to drink out of bowls, use a heavy crock or non-tip bowl. Most ferrets do not get enough hydration from a water bottle. Ferrets tend to dehydrate very quickly because of their rapid metabolism if they develop an illness or disease, which can be fatal, leading to death in just a matter of days. It is perfectly fine for ferrets to drink out of bowls, though you may want to watch them as they do like to play in the water, try to use a heavy crock (ceramic) bowl to prevent them from tipping it over. A ferret needs to learn to drink from a bowl, they will intake more water. It is also suggested to avoid tap water for ferrets, use bottled water instead.
