Ferret

Kevin Bazaldua, Contributer

Ferrets are related to mink and weasels. They are very friendly and intelligent. Ferrets are also extremely active and they love lots of exercise and will want you to play with them every day. Although they sleep about 18 hours a day, they will adapt their sleeping and active times to the fit your schedule. They also need lots of attention from humans and in-cage companions.

A ferret is not the ideal pet for someone who is away from home a lot because he requires daily commitment of time for feeding, providing fresh water, cage cleaning, emptying the litter box and exercise outside the cage.  Please take note that ferrets live for a long time 6 to 12 years!  If you get a ferret, please understand that this is a long commitment that should be considered carefully. Ferrets are carnivores, and food passes through their digestive systems very quickly. A ferret diet must be high in animal protein, high in fat and low in fiber.
