Ferrets, Ferrets, Ferrets. How We love those Ferrets!: My Best Buddy Is A Ferret!

Ferrets make the neatest pets, but they do need a lot of attention. My ferret, Dakota, has been around cats all of his life. He likes to dog pile my house cats, Blackie, Chubby, and Squeaky. They play with him and they are the best of friends.
He has a 20 ft. slinky that he likes to crawl through on his tummy and then he flips over and slinks through on his back. Wouldn't your ferret really love a Super Pet FerretTrail Bubble Wave Fun-nels Maze
or Marshall Super Thru-Way Tunnel for Ferrets 20 feet

My ferret’s diet consists of dry cat food and ferret food mixed half and half. A ferret needs a good ferret food for the nutritional value to keep your pet healthy and maintain a good coat. I give my ferret ZuPreem Premium Ferret Diet Food 4 lb.

Dakota really likes milk products but milk can cause diarrhea. My ferret really enjoys a dollop of Cool whip as a treat.

Ferrets need to drink tons of water so supply your ferret with a large water container in their cages.

Ferrets always have a stash. (a place to call their own and hide their stolen treasures) Dakota loves anything plastic. He takes potato chip bags, cereal bags, and anything in plastic bags he can drag to his stash. He also likes to take the inner linings out of everyone’s shoes. I have had ferrets that are sock monsters, potato poachers, maxi pad bandits, and eyeglass case thieves.

My ferrets hate to go to the veterinary. They need to get cat and dog feline leukemia shots and rabies shots. I even had a ferret that needed a hip adjustment. Ferrets can also contract upper respiratory infections from humans. I had one ferret that went to the vet’s just to make sure her buddy, Shadow, was coming back home.

You need to ferret proof your house to make a safe place for your ferret to live. Ferrets can get in a small hole and if they can get their head into a hole, the rest of the body goes in. You need to block all openings because a ferret is curious and that gets them into trouble. An open door is an invitation to go outside and a ferret makes a quick get-a-way to get outside.

Ferrets like baggies, paper bags, and empty Coke cartons to crawl into and sleep or hide. I also made a fleece pocket blanket for Dakota to sleep under. You can get lots of accessories for your ferret.

Ferrets can easily have fleas. Fleas can irritate their skin and cause them to itch excessively and cause their skin to bleed. This is one of the best Ferret Flea and Tick Spray you can purchase for your ferret.

A weekly bath is good for your ferret. A good shampoo with a lanolin base will keep your ferret’s fur and skin in good condition. Tea Tree Oil is a very good shampoo for your ferret's skin and coat.
Marshall Ferret Shampoo Original w/Baking Soda 8oz is another excellent choice for ferret shampoo.

My ferret, Rambo, loves to go away in the car. He has a security blanket and we can’t leave home without it. One day we went to the drive up window at the bank and everyone wanted to see Rambo. So they opened the drawer and I made a ferret deposit. He absolutely loved the attention he received at the bank and they returned him through the deposit drawer. They wanted to give him a doggy treat but he declined the offer.

Does your ferret have a cool wardrobe? Your ferret will want all the newest fashions to keep ferrets warm in the cold months from a hooded sweatshirt to a Christmas hat.
You can find lots of ferret fashions for your special ferret.
