Ferrets are not caged animals, but you cage them for their protection. Most ferret owners cage ferrets when they're not at home or unable to supervise them when free roaming. Ferrets need about 4 hours daily time out of their cage in a ferret proofed environment. Ferrets being burrowing animals by nature are subject to crawl and fall asleep into places that can be dangerous and you cannot get them out, like in major appliances, couches, recliners (very dangerous for ferrets). I personally do not cage my ferrets, but keep them in a bedroom totally ferret proofed so they are safe

How many times do you play with your ferret?

Per day? Ferrets should get a minimum of four hours of outside-cage play every day. They're usually content to roam about in a ferret safe room, so you don't always have to play directly with them.


Can a ferret live in the house without a cage like a cat?

* Ferrets can be kept in the house without a cage - free roam. I have never kept mine in a cage. You have to be diligent in ferret proofing to prevent accidents. Ferrets are very extremely curious that can lead to an accidental premature death. * You would have to ferret-proof the house first. You wouldn't want your ferret getting stuck in/dying/hurting themselves in holes, behind the refrigerator, chewing on wires (could get electrocuted), etc. There's also the danger of the ferret slipping out the door while you're going out, and they tend to try and do that a lot. There's a possibility someone could step/sit on them. They would be harder to find, in such a big space. If you're vacuuming, it would be extremely unfortunate if you didn't know it was under the couch... It would also take them awhile to find their food/drink/bed(s). You would have to put a litter box in every corner they have access too (they go to the bathroom in corners). (Maybe not in every corner, if their already trained). It probably would be much safer for your pet if it had a cage. * They can live inside the house, ferrets cannot survive on their own outside. You can have ferrets that are free roam and mine are. But ferrets are a lot different from cats. Because of their natural instinct for digging and burrowing, it could lead them to dangerous situations. Make sure you train your ferrets to come to you by their name or a sound of a toy (they can be trained and this should be done regardless). When ferrets are out of their cage, they have collars with bells for ferrets, so you will know where there at (unless they curl up somewhere and fall asleep, then you might think there are lost! It can happen) You just have to be aware and alert of where they are at all times. I read about ferrets getting crushed in recliners, electrocuted climbing into stoves, injured in dishwashers, disappearing into holes in the walls. Ferrets are not caged animals, you cage them for their protection. But, I have no kids, I'm at home all the time, and I'm extremely careful and ferret proofed everything.

Is a ferret okay without another ferret?

Ferrets can be okay by themselves - as long as they have plenty attention from humans and plenty of time out of their cage. My ferret is an only ferret after his cagemate died of old age at 9 years. I do not cage him, letting him free roam in a ferret proof bedroom, and I play with him a lot as he does demand my attention. If your ferret is going to be alone if you are away from home frequently, like for a job or school, then another ferret would be needed for companionship.
