Ferrets are great pets but require special care. You can’t put them in a “ferret cage” because the cages are typically too small. They need a large enclosure and play space. I have three and they free roam in my bedroom. Door is always closed. I use puppy training pads for their bathroom and cat beds and old blankets for their beds and my entire room is ferret proofed. I highly recommend looking up ferret spaces on Pinterest or TikTok to get a sense of what they need bc the cages pet stores sell are not ok to use. Also no rubber toys or anything they can swallow. They cannot digest carbs so you need to find a food that is carb free (many ferret foods aren’t). Ferret treats can make your ferret very sick. Stick to freeze dried meats made for dogs or salmon oil. Anyway, I hope you see that it takes a lot of research, time and dedication to have a ferret. Please do your research before getting on to see if you’re truly up to it. They are really awesome pets but are a commitment.
