Absolutely not - it contains a lot of iron and huge quantities of vitamin A. Just like all other creatures, they need a varied and balanced diet.

Hugely unlikely. A ferret is close in size to a Yorkie and would put up a nasty fight.

it is actually better for ferrets to drink out of bowls, use a heavy crock or non-tip bowl. Most ferrets do not get enough hydration from a water bottle. Ferrets tend to dehydrate very quickly because of their rapid metabolism if they develop an illness or disease, which can be fatal, leading to death in just a matter of days. It is perfectly fine for ferrets to drink out of bowls, though you may want to watch them as they do like to play in the water, try to use a heavy crock (ceramic) bowl to prevent them from tipping it over. A ferret needs to learn to drink from a bowl, they will intake more water. It is also suggested to avoid tap water for ferrets, use bottled water instead.

Ferrets eat small amounts of food regularly. They will usually eat ever 3 or 4 hours.

Ideally it should be something meat based. This includes scrambled eggs, cooked/raw meats, meat baby food. Most ferrets enjoy a lick of olive oil or Ferretone oil supplement.

They are obligate carnivores so any fruit/vegetable/grain-based treats should be avoided.

they are NOT rodents they are in the weasel family FERRETS ARE AWESOME

an unspated female ferret is a Jill. Spayed- sprite

a whole male ferret is a hob. Neutered- gib

a baby ferret is called a kit

The cousin of the weasel is the ferret. Others in the Mustelidae family are minks, ermine, otters, wolverine, fisher, and martens.

== == == == Possible causes - '''Intestinal blockage (fur balls, eating soft rubber objects); heart disease; poison; internal tumor'''

Intestinal obstruction or blockage in the stomach is a common cause of premature death in ferrets. Many ferrets like to chew on soft rubber, foam rubber, sponges, rubber bands, pencil erasers and other small items and can become lodged in the intestines. Also grain-based foods (breads, cakes, cookies, cereals, noodles, etc.), nuts, or fibrous fruits and vegetables are indigestible to ferrets (lack a cecum) and can result in digestive problems, including blockages. Unless surgery is performed immediately to remove the obstruction or blockage, it will cause an agonizing, slow death. If your ferret appears bloated, loss of appetite, abnormal bowel movements, or exhibiting any abnormal behavoirs, it could be an intestinal blockage and be a medical emergency and need immediate veterinarian care. Advice from other contributors:

It could be multiple things. The best bet is to have it checked out by a vet. For suspected intestinal blockage try feeding it a couple 10ml syringes (the kind without the needle, for hand-feeding) of pumpkin pie filling (not sweetened). It is loaded with fiber and if your ferret has a hairball, as most ferrets get, this will get it to pass out faster than hairball remover and is safer than giving your ferret chemicals. My vet recommended it when my ferret had chewed an eraser up and didn't poop it out.

Many ferrets also get cancer. I had a ferret with a bloaty-belly that we rescued. She was under weight everywhere else but her belly was bloated. Suspecting an intestinal blockage she went to the vet but x-rays revealed it was cancer and she was put down. Many ferrets get cancer in different places but make sure your vet can rule this out with an xray.

All healthy ferrets should be on a dry food or at least mostly dry food diet. Wet food is specifically made for ferrets but should be given in moderation. A dry food diet helps maintain healthy teeth and gums.

Kits as young as two to three weeks will manage to crawl out of the nest (to be dragged back by the mother)

Ferret cannot be trained to go outside to toilet. Ferrets cannot be outside without a leash, they eliminate every three to four hours, and would not be able to tell you that they need to go outside, plus when they need to use the litter box it's immediate - they can't hold it

i depends what you dream about (e.g any why it could die like someone kills a ferret with a knife

Orbeez beads are completely non toxic, so there is no fear of poisoning, and have no ability to clump together, so there is no fear of blockage. The beads will actually grow smaller within the intestine, due to less water surrounding the bead, and should simply pass right through the animals system within a day or two. We always recommend calling your vet if you feel you have any remaining concerns for your animals health.

Domestic Ferrets - A ferret will attain its adult weight at four to five months. The age at puberty is approximately 250 days and ate at sexual maturity is at eight to twelve months in the spring after birth. The ferret has an average life span of about 8 - 10 years.

Ferrets mating season (early March to late September) is triggered by photoperiod or lighting - when daylight is longer in the days than night, which is the only time the male and female are together.

The female has a litter of 6-8 young (kits), 42 days after mating. The female nurses and cares for the young, the male has no role in raising the kits. The young are born blind, deaf and helpless and covered with a fine white fur, totally dependent on their mother. Kits weight at birth five to fifteen grams. The kits ears or hearing develops and eyes open in twenty-two to thirty-six days, fur starts to appear in about 3 weeks. Kits are weaned at seven to nine weeks and weigh between 300 grams and 500 grams.

The blue whale and the ferret diverge from both being mammals

baby ferrets are called kits because of the simularities to feline kits, but some people call them "pups"

Domestic ferrets possible predators would be like hawks, owls, or any larger carnivorous mammals (dogs, coyotes, etc) would hunt them given the opportunity.

Ferrets don't have any natural instincts against predators, because they are so domesticated and rely on humans, they do not know to be scared of other animals.

Black footed ferrets natural enemies includes coyotes, great-horned owls, golden eagles, prairie falcons, badgers, bobcats and foxes.

Yes, they can. This is particularly unfortunate from their point of view as not only does it mean they can become ill through contact with humans, they're also used in laboratory experiments to find cold and 'flu remedies.

So, if you have either a cold or the 'flu, try to handle your ferret as little as possible, wash your hands thouroughly when you do handle them and don't hold them up near your face. Whatever you do, do not give the ferret cold or 'flu remedies intended for use by humans - many contain aspirin and other medicines which are fatal to ferrets.

Yes but it is always good to check with vets and register them. Victoria allows ferrets which is good.

Ferrets don't attack. Improperly raised and abused ferrets can become fear biters, just like any animal.

No, not recommended. You may see pet stores using cedar or pine shavings as bedding for ferrets. Cedar shavings harbor bacteria and can cause allergies and respiratory problems in ferrets, also pine and other woods produce dust. Wood shavings are completely unnecessary for ferrets, you can use clean towels or old T-shirt for sleeping. Cedar shavings, white and yellow pines, release volatile hydrocarbons which can affect animals. Plicatic acid, a volatile hydrocarbon, results in asthma in humans and rabbits. Other hydrocarbons result in changes in the liver, which may impair its ability to detoxify certain drugs, including various anesthetic agents. Scientists over the years have alluded to possible carcinogenicity in cedar shavings. Absolutely not. Wood shavings are usually made of pine, which is a very dusty wood. If small animals like ferrets, rabbits, etc. come into excessive contact with very dusty materials (such as wood shavings and cat-grade clay litter) this can get into their lungs and dry them up. And that can end up very badly if not caught in time. Short answer: no wood shavings.
