Answer 2

Ferrets need to have fresh water available at all times to have plenty to drink.

Advice from another contributor:

You don't need to worry about how much water you need to give them, just get a normal Ferret water bowl from a pet store and just fill that up and leave it up to them how much they'll/the ferret have/has of it. If you're asking this because you're Ferret is having lots more or less than a normal Ferret has of water then you should ask your doctor if anything's wrong in it's next check-up.
