Ferrets are probably one of the more cat-like small animal pets. These guys require so much more care an attention than most buyers realize.... Until they bring home the pet. Ferrets are the type of pet that you can leave in a cage 24/7, feed and water, and occasionally let out to play. If you were to do that, you'd be in for a heap of trouble.
Ferrets are typically referred to as "cats on crack." These guys are spastic when awake, and near dead when sleeping. They're actually a very interesting creature, and a very entertaining pet.
Before you decide to get a pet ferret, you'll want to check your state regulations, as they are illegal to have as pets in some states (California being one of them).
A few ferret tips:
• Keep the litter box in a corner, as ferrets are prone to using corners of rooms and corners made by furniture.
• Keep multiple litter boxes throughout the room; although ferrets tend to use the same area, you will want more than one box.
• Make sure to purchase actual ferret food. Many people opt to feed cat food to their ferret, and this is very unhealthy as a long-term, permanent diet. Ferrets need ferret food.
• Make sure that you have your ferret spayed or neutered. Believe it or not, if you don’t spay a female ferret, and she goes into heat, if you don’t breed her, she will die. (There’s medical data stating why, but I forget off-hand. It has something to do with the hormones.)
Here are a few pictures of some really cute ferrets.
