Advice on Ferrets?
7 years ago
General
~Welcome to my Journal of Randomness!~
~*♥*❤*♥~ So I may be getting myself two little Ferrets.
They are pre-owned by another owner who is being forced to give her fur babies away.
She contacted my sister as she trusts her with her Ferrets. However our mom said no.
So my sister came to me and I told her I can take them in.
Course after talking to my Mate to be sure it's ok haha.
I always wanted a ferret after seeing and playing with my Cousin's ferrets when she had them. Was always amusing watching the two play around the house. haha
However... I do not know of anything on raising Ferrets XD
So if I do get these two babies I would like some advice ;w;
They come with everything. Their cages Food Toys etc.
They already have their stink glans removed. And was just told I have to just clean their cages.
But I know there is more to that.
Not only this my household have two dogs. and 5 cats. These Ferrets will be placed in the computer room with me which houses my Dog's Cage and only one cat is aloud in here and that cat is Aya. Which I know I can just simply kick her back in the living room and put Belle out their to play with Karma and place her in the cage when letting the ferrets out as I know they can be let out to play and roam.
I just hope this don't stress them out too much. I mean I'm sure they're use to being around other cats and dogs as I'm sure my sister wouldn't suggest me since she knows how many animals me and my room mates have haha And I believe the owner who owns these ferrets also have a dog. Small Dog but still.
Really I want to know the Do's and Don'ts
Along with things I need to know and keep in mind.
So uh... Any Ferret Owners. Help? ;w;
I want to give these guys the best happy little home I can give them haha
1 Ferrets need alot of love and attention and at least 4 hours worth of playing out side of the cave
2 you'll want to make sure there are vets around you that can actually take care of ferrets this is actually a pretty big one cause it's the thing that is stopping me from getting ferrets again at the moment
3 Ferrets can get along with other animals you just gotta really watch them and keep the introduction somewhat short with larger dogs if you're feeling uncomfortable
4 please if you're gonna do heavy lifting put them back in their cages until you're done
My Brother in law had two.
Ferrets get into EVERYTHING. You will constantly lose them.
The have a strong musky odor.
They collect your shinys and hide them.
Did I say they get into EVERYTHING?
