At most pet stores or on the internet (ferret.com, ferret depot.com). Ferrets like bedding that is soft and they can burrow into. They like to sleep covered up. You can use material you already have like t-shirts, flannel material, etc. as long as it's a fine weave. Ferrets are prone having their nails hang and get caught on loose woven fabrics sometimes causing injuries. Do not use any wood chips (cedar, pine), it can cause respiratory problems in ferrets.

Hi, i honestly do not recommend laying soft bedding in a ferret cage, they sometimes like to chop on soft things and most of the softer bedding is chewy as well which if they swallow it they will most likely get it lodged in their intestine and need emergency surgery. Pine bedding works the best, they find comfort in almost anything. iv seen my ferrets sleep on top of a stack of CD`s! 100% Pine bedding Is what i recommend. _______________________________________________ Pine bedding is dangerous to ferrets.

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.
