Yes, but ferrets usually have to be taught to run on them, by placing them on it and showing them how it works. It doesn't necessarily come natural to a ferret like it does a hamster. Also, it is very important to get a much larger exerciser wheel than those used for smaller pets. The ferret wheel should be no smaller than a 15" diameter. Ferrets are larger than other small animals who use these wheels, and if the wheel is too small it can harm the ferret's back after running for a while. The best things that ferrets love to do is crawl through tubes, like dryer vents, certainly not one that is hooked up to your dryer, but one that is long and laid out across your floor. Monitor them to make sure your tube is too small for them and that they do not get stuck. Ferrets also love to sleep and snooze, and actually their cage is not the favored spot for them. Oh sure, they'll snooze anywhere, but mine loves to crawl under my clothes dresser, up the back, and into the bottom drawer, which is dark, warm, and shuts out the outside world completely.

How do you get a hamster to run on the wheel?

If you just got a new hamster it is hard to get it to run on its wheel. What I did was pick it up, put it on its wheel and gently turn it slowly so that they know what it is there for. Your hamster will only run on the wheel once it is comfortable with its environment. You can also buy a hamster ball and let it run around a room in it.


How do ferrets run?

They bounce with both front legs together, and both back legs together. While doing a running walk they "slide" their feet; the left side moves together as does the right. All ferrets are different though and may prefer to run/ walk differently; especially if they are older.

How fast does a black footed ferret move?

Ferrets are pretty fast - they are able to take down rabbits when hunting in the UK. Owners have lost ferrets because they thought they could catch them if they decided to run. The truth is that ferrets can be very fast, especially if startled. Ferrets are fast learners Ferrets have been able to hunt rabbits which are 35mph, rats which are 33-35 mph and rarely hares and guinea pigs which are 39-45 mph. Ferrets are around 36-41 mph depending on the age, size, sex and health.
