FAQ
Ferrets are obligate carnivores, meaning they require a meat-based diet to stay healthy. High-quality ferret food or raw meat diets are ideal, supplemented occasionally with treats like cooked chicken or eggs. Avoid giving ferrets fruits, vegetables, grains, or sugary foods, as these can upset their digestive system and lead to serious health problems. Always provide fresh water and consult a vet for diet recommendations tailored to your ferret.
Ferret cages should be spot-cleaned daily to remove waste and replace soiled bedding. A deep cleaning, including washing the cage and changing all bedding, should be done weekly to prevent odors and maintain hygiene. Ferrets have a natural musky scent, but regular cleaning and bathing them no more than once a month will help manage this. Using unscented, pet-safe cleaning products is recommended to avoid irritation.
Yes, ferrets are extremely active and need several hours of supervised playtime outside their cage every day. Provide plenty of toys, tunnels, and spaces to explore to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. A ferret-proofed area free of hazards is ideal for their playtime. Regular interaction and play not only keep them healthy but also strengthen your bond with them.
Ferrets need soft, absorbent bedding or fleece liners for their sleeping areas. Avoid cedar or pine shavings, as these can irritate their respiratory systems. For litter boxes, use unscented, dust-free litter made from recycled paper or wood pellets. Clean litter boxes daily to maintain hygiene and encourage consistent use.
Ferrets can get along with some other pets, but introductions should be done carefully. They often play well with other ferrets and may coexist with cats or dogs that are gentle and used to small animals. However, they should never be left unsupervised with prey animals like rabbits, hamsters, or birds. Always monitor interactions closely to ensure everyone’s safety.
Ferrets are naturally curious and social, making them fun and interactive pets to bond with. Start by letting your ferret approach you on their terms and offer treats to build trust. Handle them gently and frequently, supporting their body to make them feel secure. With time, patience, and consistent interaction, you’ll develop a strong and playful bond with your ferret.
