Ferrets! They're cute, they're neat, and they're exotic. Still they
end up in the shelter. Why? Well, a lot of people don't understand a
ferret's needs and think of them as weird cats. They require special
care, and supervision. They will burrow, and if not fixed can mark
their territory. They can also be loving, interesting family members. A
good overview of their needs can be found here.
Almost 500 ferrets are looking for homes right now on petfinder. Look at this face!
My name is Brody and Adrien and I are a pair. I'm the more roly-poly one and I do like to roll over a lot when I'm playing. They tell me it looks pretty funny, but, hey, I'm having a good time! Adopt, don't shop is what we always say, you're saving a life!
Now you're excited! Look at the cutie fuzzface! OOOoooooooh I want one! (I know, that's what I said when I saw Brody.) Here are some tips to keep in mind.
Getting a new fuzzy family member is just like getting into any new relationship. Do your homework, and know what you're getting into before you do it. Are ferrets the right pet for you? First, according to Hug a Woozel, make sure it is legal to own a ferret in your area. Just because you see them in a pet shop does not mean they are legal, when in doubt call your local animal control. Ferrets can also be rather expensive for a small pets. Their cages start in the hundreds of dollars, they are usually at least $100, and their veterinarian care can be pricy due to the fact that they are exotic. They are intelligent creatures, and require toys and stimulus, plus food and fresh food. This all adds up quickly.
Ferrets are emotionally high maintenance and require a lot of time with their humans. They need to be able to get out of their cages at the very least once a day. Their cages need to be cleaned fairly often too, along with baths and grooming for the animals themselves. For more information, please go here to find your local library, they have free books from professionals!
If you're looking for an interesting pet that will love and play with you all day long, the ferret may be right for you! Inform yourself, and contacting rescues in your area is an awesome way to get answers to any questions you may have.
These guys can be seen here on Petango.
