Baby Ferret Adoption Tips – Toys and Habitat

by Rudy Catson

A baby ferret must have a home that it can call its own. Ferrets prefer a nice roomy cage, and it should have a cozy nest for the ferret to sleep in. The bottom of the cage must be lined with an easily cleaned material such as linoleum, just in case an accident should happen.

Linoleum would do because it is easy to clean. The linoleum lining makes sure that the toes and feet of the ferret would not get trapped in between the grills of the cage. The cage needs to be cleaned regularly because ferrets leave scents because of their sweat glands.

If the linen for sleeping is not cleaned at least once a week, it may become too smelly for the owner. Even if the ferret is given a bath, the stink would be back on its fur if the bedding is not washed thoroughly.

It’s important that you have a litter box. Baby ferrets are easily trained to use a litter box, and this should be done as soon as possible. Ferrets are extremely intelligent, and the litter boxes should be placed in a convenient place for both the baby ferret and the owner.

You should always place the litter boxes in the same places. You don’t want to confuse the little ferret by moving his litter box around so that he has to constantly look for it.

All that you need to do to introduce the baby ferret to his litter box is place a small amount of his own waste into the box. After that, his instincts will tell him that he needs to use a litter box. Also, don’t completely clean the litter box of his waste, or he might get confused.

Ferrets are so much fun because they just love to play. Baby ferrets need a lot of regular exercise, so you should take them out of their cage to play at least twice a day, more whenever you’re able. There are lots of ferret toys that you can buy to amuse them.

Always carefully examine the toys that you provide to your ferret. You should stay away from toys that are made out of materials such as rubber, fabric or latex. Because ferrets like to chew on their toys, you wouldn’t want your ferret accidentally eating a piece of latex.

Ferrets are so playful, and they like hiding in tunnels. You could place one inside the cage so that he can entertain himself while you’re gone, and one outside so that he can play when he’s not in the case. Ferrets also like little toys that make noise, and they’re quite amusing to watch play with these toys. If you want to take your ferret for a walk, you’ll want to buy a leash and a harness.
