OF COURSE!!!!!!!!! Ferrets are fun loving little pets. they sleep a lot so they're good. But, of course, two ferrets are actually easier to care for cause they don't get bored! I highly recommend ferrets. BUT DON'T LEAVE THEM UNSUPERVISED!!!!!!!!!!
No matter how old they get, they will always want to play, play, and play some more. Ferrets do the "weasel war dance" - when they get excited and playing they will hop around, and twist and turn and the sound they make is called "dooking". They are always exploring, curious about everything. When something has changed or added in a room, they usually notice right away and have to go investigate. They sleep about 18 hrs a day.
No. Some dog treats contain too much plant matter and not enough meat which can cause stomach problems. Special ferret treats are available. The special treats have a higher meat content. If you do not want to purchase these special treats try giving your ferret small bits of raw meat as a treat.
NO! Do not give your ferret anything high in sugar as they can develop diabetes. They are carnivores and should eat meat, eggs and special ferret pet food. Fruit and vegetables should also be avoided as they are high in sugar and the ferret is unable to digest them. Eating fruit and vegetables may cause the ferret to have an upset stomach or in more severe cases intestinal blockages.
Yes. The ferret's main prey are prairie dogs, and they will live inside an abandoned burrow inside the prairie dog town.
No it is not. A lot of the ferrets scent comes from oil produced by its skin. Bathing the ferret too often causes the skin to produce more oil to replace the oil it lost from being washed. The more you bathe your ferret, the more oil their skin produces, the more they smell. A ferret should only be bathe 2-3 times a year with special ferret shampoo.
If you go to the website of ferretsanonymous.com they have advice on how to get ferrets into California (what checkpoints to avoid) and your legal rights (what to do if you get caught) Plus they have links to other California ferret websites.
No. You can buy special ferret toys but toys made for cats and dogs can be just as good as long as they contain no sharp pieces, pieces which the ferret could easily chew off or pieces made of rubber. Some baby and toddler toys are also good. You could also make toys for your ferret by joining cardboard boxes together to create a maze.
I can tell you what parts ferret do not have, they don't have an appendix, cecum or male prostate gland.
A ferret can eat anything it darn well pleases. Bologna will probably cause some diarrhea, and if fed enough over long term the ferret will die young. Please don't feed your ferret bologna. A taste, okay, but not as regular feed. Heck, my ferret got ice cream cake for his birthday, but only a spoonful, and the other 364 days of the year it's kibble.
A Ferret kit is a baby Ferret.
well, ferrets dont have a special sense but their sense of hearing is exceptional being able to hear sounds as low as 12khz which is the same as an elephant
I don't have a ferret... Okay, okay, here's the real answer: I honestly have no idea. I assume you're talking about yourferret. Did you switch anything recently? (food, playtoys, environment) It could be weather, food, anything, really. I'd enjoy it while it lasts though!
No. Ferrets are carnivores and should eat raw meat, eggs and special ferret food available from pet stores. Anything high in salt or sugar should be avoided. Fruits and vegetables should also be avoided as ferrets cannot digest them and eating them can cause stomach problems or in more severe cases intestinal blockages. Dairy products are also know to cause upset stomachs if eaten by ferrets and so they should also be avoided. If you want to give you ferret something as a treat try some little pieces of raw meat or alternatively special ferret treats are available to buy from pet stores.
