Ferret Care

If you love ferret's as much as I do then I know that you love to take great care of your ferrets too. So since most people who get ferret's are clueless on how to take proper care I thought I would take the time to give you a couple of tips on Ferret Care.

Tip #1 - Grooming

Hair - during the shedding season you will need to brush your ferret often to avoid hairballs. Your local pet store should have the proper brush

Ears - Ears should be cleaned once a week with a q-tip and ferret ear cleaning solution also found at local pet store

Teeth - Yes you have to brush your ferret's teeth. You'll have to used your finger though with cat toothpaste on it. Gross, I know, but if you love your little fury friend you'll do it.

Tip #2 - Food

Brands - Stick with variety here, ferrets seem to like variety. Buy all different kinds of brands.

When - Ferrets need to eat 24/7 so leave their food out at all times.

Water - The bottle or the bowl? This is really a preference for the ferret so give both a shot. The water should be available to the ferret 24/7 as well.

Tip #3 - No No's

Bedding - Don't use wood chips, causes respiratory problems.

Temperature - Don't keep your ferret in room over 80 Degrees, ferrets don't do well with hot weather.
