i have 2 that i just got from my nans bf's kid. and since his kid broke up with his wife(hes about 21) he hasnt took care of the ferrets for like half a year. i dont think that he ever did there cage. cuz when we went to go and pick the ferrets up they had poop everywhere in the cage. and there nails were so long. and he never let them out. all he did was give them food and water. and so when we brought them home we tried to do there nails a little. (just cuz we didnt want to tramatize them). and we owned about 3 other ferrets before. about 4-5 years ago and when i was like 6. and right now im 16. so i got a couple of quesions
*what do they like to eat?
*and if u have a ferret do u walk them?(cuz we did when we were younger, on harnesses)
and anything else that u think that i might need to know.
oh and we use ceddar cat litter for them. cuz its the only kind our cat will use. and there 1 1/2 yrs old(Jasmine) and 2 yrs old(Cyrus). there both fixed.

Ferrets will pretty much eat anything, they're scavengers. but that doesn't necessarily mean you should feed them everything. Obviously you just find a ferret food that they'll eat and any local pet store will have tons of treats for them. There is also a paste that comes in a tube that is really good for them, has a lot of nutrients. Our ferret is nearly 7 which is really old because they don't live that long. We feed her dry cereal alot, like the grain part of lucky charms are her favorite. Also half a grape now and then. Try to stay away from milky products. And when you do give them treats, make sure its in very tiny pieces because they're prone to choking on things. We use cob for her litter, it soaks up the urine better. We don't really walk ours anymore as she is older and especially more susceptible to getting sick outside. But if you have the proper harness and the weather is good, there shouldn't be a problem. Hope some of that helps
i have a ferret she just eats dry ferret food along with kitten food to make her bigger. i dont walk her i just yake her outside on her harness and she runs around the yard. you might want to buy some toys they love toys. and make sure your house is ferret proof so no holes in walls they can squeeze through holes the size of like gold dolars or quarters if they are small. also they like treats. peanut butter or chicken flavored is what tasha (my ferret) likes. if you go to petsmart they have alot of ferreet accesories
good luck!!
%26lt;3 always bree
i have one of my own i love them yes u can walk them i do and u can feed them cat food or u can go to any pet supply and pick up food for them
u can go to ur pet store and ask sometimes they will have there own little section as for walking i would walk them it gives the exercise and lets them out the cage for a little bit for the bedding they have stuff that is like paper towels its really good with holdin the smell and stuff it works really well it comes in alot of colors ( pets mart is a good place if ur by one)
Commercial ferret food works fine. They need a high protein diet.
I walk mine outside on a harness, Ferrets have a lot of energy, and a 20 minute walk does them so much good. It also helps them socialize and in general they just enjoy it.
Pine and cedar bedding causes a whole lot of health problems in small pets.
