You must also provide safe housing for your pet. Get a cage that is roomy, safe and easy to clean. Spacing of the cage is important. If the ferret can force its head through any part of that cage, it is in danger. Make sure the cage you purchase has no areas where your ferret’s feet can get caught.

Those little creatures love to run around and play. If they are not placed in a proper cage they will get hurt. Ferrets sleep 15-18+ hours a day; they love to hide in dark padded areas. Sleeping sacks and hammocks are great for both play and sleep. You can also try placing a sheet over one part of their cage in order to give them a nice, quiet and private place to play or to sleep.
(6) – Ferrets Like to Chew…
Ferrets like to chew things; anything within a ferret’s reach can become a hazard to your ferret. Check your ferret’s cage often for anything that it is chewing on that is becoming damaged. If a ferret eats the wrong thing it will cause obstruction in the intestines, and will need to be surgically removed. They can be social.

Never leave your ferret unattended outside their cage. They are at risk for getting hurt. If you can handle them more often it is better for training.This will help them interact with you.
