This is meant as a general care guideline for a Ferret. The needs of one species may differ from those of another, so be sure to discuss specific questions with a knowledgeable veterinarian familiar with small mammals.

Size: 15” long and 2-5lbs
Life span: up to 8yrs with proper care

Group or Solo: Ferrets are very social and can be kept in pairs or groups. It is recommended that they are paired by gender if they are not spayed/neutered.

Diet: A high-quality pelleted food made specifically for ferrets is recommended. They can be given small pieces of lean, cooked meat as treats. If bored, ferrets will eat all day and become obese if they have no enrichment so healthy ferrets should not be free-fed. Fresh food and water should be provided daily.

Habitat: Habitats should be multi-tiered, no less than 2’ x 2’ x 3’, have good ventilation, a secure door and a solid floor. Openings between the wires should be small enough so the habitat is escape-proof. Because ferrets are inquisitive and playful, owners should provide the largest habitat possible and give them time out of their enclosure to explore. Habitats should include a hammock, ramps, shelves and hiding places. Ferrets enjoy tubes and tunnels to run through. Ferret-safe toys should also be offered.

Other care: Ferrets are generally happy, intelligent, playful and sometimes mischievous. They thrive on mental stimulation. You can leash train your ferret and take it outside on walks but be sure your harness is specifically made for ferrets. They can roam the house, however, be advised that they are very curious and can crawl into tight spaces so they should always be supervised if roaming freely and never left unattended. They also must be watched so that they do not chew on dangerous items like electrical cords.
