Should you get a dog kennel or a ferret cage for a ferret only for two days?

- Yes. Or board them at the vet or get them a sitter.
- You can use a pet carrier for temporary housing, I have two pet carriers (small and large) as I do not own a cage nor do I cage my ferret.

How do you tame a ferret?
You would need to find a warren (asking permission from the landowner and making sure the warren has no foxes, badgers, stoats, traps or poison gas in it). Then all the exits should be covered with purpose-made purse nets. The ferret can then be introduced to the hole (it should be wearing a good quality ferret tracking device, switched on(!!) of course). Then wait, very quickly, rabbits will bolt from the holes and get caught in the nets, where you should humanely dispatch them. Using the tracking device, track the ferret regularly, if it is sat still for any amount of time, it is likely to have made a kill, this is undesirable, the ferret should then be dug up (a good tracker will tell you how deep the ferret is), along with the rabbit is has caught, which may or may not need to be dispatched, as some ferrets are too small to kill a rabbit itself.
How do you know if a ferret likes another ferret?
Yes ferrets are social animals and as you should keep two as they're very active and a play mate will drain their energy There's no way of guaranteeing that one ferret will like another ferret. However, there are certain steps that will make it more likely. Introduce the new ferret through the bars of the existing ferret's cage - let them sniff one another. If you have two cages, keep the new ferret in a separate cage for a few days, then swap the bedding in each cage with the bedding from the other - this almost always works. Each ferret has it's own personality (and whether they have been altered) - Baby ferrets take to other ferrets very easily, older ferrets that have never been around other ferrets - it may take time for them to adjust, some may never accept another ferret. Ferrets that have not been altered (or fixed, neutered, spayed) when in season or heat, the males will fight.

Your ferrets cage mate died recently and he doesn't want to do much anymore what can you do for him?
Domestic ferrets bond strongly to their cage mates and when one dies, severe depression can develop to the point were they will quit eating and die withing a matter of days. What your ferrets need in plenty of attention from you and plenty of time out of their cage. Distract your ferret and try to get him interested in playing, ferrets like to play in tunnel, box, plastic sacks, even a tray of something they can dig in (I use puzzle pieces). If your ferret does not eat you may have to hand feed him a mixture of "duck soup" (do a Google search for duck soup ferret for recipes) because they can quickly lose weight and become very weak to the point of death.
How do you stopp rabbits from getting poop caked on them?
Keep the cage cleaned up so that they are not sitting in their feces. The cage should be cleaned about every 2-4 days. If there is a litter box, then it should be cleaned every day.
What days should you wash your ferret?
Ferrets are fairly clean animals and will usually groom themselves. It is unnecessary to bath a ferret more than once or twice a year. Bathing more often leads to dry, itchy skin and the skin oils glands overcompensate to make up for the lost oils, making the ferret smelly.
