How often to walk a ferret? There's not any established rules, it's more of a personal choice. One of my ferrets (now deceased) I would walk on a regular basis. Just showing him the harness, and he was ready to go outside. I currently don't walk my ferrets outside because I feel it is safer for their health. Ferrets can contract heartworms, pick up fleas and ticks, and other things from outside and I'd rather not take the risks.
