Those who want to try themselves in the role of a ferret owner should first familiarize themselves with the requirements that these undoubtedly cute animals “present” to their owner and habitat.

So, first of all, ferrets love space. Keeping such a pet in a cage on a permanent basis is cruel to the pet.

A ferret needs to be able to walk around as much as possible, and if you allow him to do this in your apartment, you will have to take care of his safety.

Put away household chemicals, wires and other things that can harm your pet or are dear to your heart.

In addition to walks around the apartment, a ferret's life should include walks in the fresh air.

However, this pastime also has its own dangers, such as the possibility of infection with parasites, so do not forget about regular treatment of your pet.

In addition, an important “stage” in caring for a pet is vaccination.

Ferrets need to be regularly vaccinated against distemper and rabies.
