What is the difference between getting a kit and adult ferret?
A baby ferret is a lot of work, they will need a lot of training and attention. They are very hyper. An adult ferret will be more laid back and should be properly socialized and trained.
Should you get a baby ferret or an older ferret?
A baby ferret requires a lot of attention and training, plus they are very active. An older ferret should already have training and not as active as they tend to sleep more. If you've never owned a ferret before, I would recommend getting an older, trained one. Bite and housetraining a ferret takes quite a bit of work and dedication and can be challenging for a first time ferret owner. You can find young ferrets up for adoption that have received the proper training from the shelter.

Do more people like ferrets or chinchillas more?
Do more people like chinchillas or ferrets more? Ferrets are the third most popular pet beside dogs or cats. From another contributor: If you do buy one you'll have to ferret-proof a room (or your whole house) for them to run around in and get exercise every day. I've never owned a chinchilla, but i knew someone who did and she was bored with them. You'll NEVER get bored with a ferret. So maybe somebody out there thinks chinchillas are better and that's okay.
Is it okay to bathe your ferret more than average?
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.
