You can buy a ferret from a pet store or a breeder. It is also possible to get one by driving down to the animal shelter. Since they have the ability to live for a long period of time just like your cat or dog, it is best to know what you need to do.
First, ferrets are nocturnal creatures that sleep during the day. When they wake up, you shouldnt just tap the cage or look at them but rather let them come out so they can run around and play. When this happens, make sure that cords are secure, small items are hidden and there are no small spaces that they can squeeze into. This will prevent them from getting lost or getting hurt.
These mammals live on strict diet and you should be well aware that they are carnivores. This means they can only be fed meat or poultry products as they need a lot of protein. There are ferret food products in the market so you better stock up to avoid the mistake of settling with cat food instead.
Aside from food, ferrets need water. You can do this by putting this in a bowl or a bottle. It is advisable to put this in a bottle so the contents do not spill.
Your ferret can never be left in the house by themselves...
