If you want one of the most active and entertaining pets a person could have then a ferret just might be the answer. Their playful nature is second to none in the animal kingdom. If you are ready to buy a ferret now then here are some questions you may want to take into consideration: Where is he going to stay when he gets home? You probably have already answered this one and perhaps, you have looked at several cages. As long as it provides him with his basic needs such as; eat, sleep, and play, then you are on the right track. Avoid at all costs any enclosures with solid walls; instead, a wire mesh type would be most suitable for him. The floor should be solid so to avoid any possible injury to his feet or legs. For his security and safety you should make sure the wire is thick enough to prevent him from chewing through and escaping. Although he has the perfect ferret home it wont take long for you to figure out that he will want to spend plenty of time out of it. He needs plenty of time with his new parents so prepare for many play sessions with him. Where should he go when he wants to sleep? Ferrets can be quite particular when it comes to their beds in their cages. It is paramount that he has the peace of mind for his safety and security. So where his cage is actually placed within the home shouldnt be a trivial decision. If you have a quiet and distraction free area of the home then you have found the ideal placement for his cage. Next, a hammock or sleep sack should be installed. As long as they are soft and fluffy then he is going to love it. However, the materials used should be extremely tough and as chew free as possible. Before I buy a ferret what do I need know about ferret play time? Ferrets not only love to play but they need to play. Now when they do, you may be surprised by sudden shriek like sounds coming from your fur ball. Dont worry, this is what ferret play time sounds like. These guys are inclusive critters and every chance they get they are going to want your attention. One way he will get you to notice him is that he will nip or lightly bite your hand. What he is saying is I want to play now. If it is painful biting then it means he just doesnt know his own strength and he really doesnt mean to hurt you. If he does accidentally hurt you just give a quick loud sound indicating you were harmed and he should be easier the next time. For each time he bites a little hard just repeat this. Ferrets are smart animals and he will soon make the connection and ease up on the power of his nipping. These wonderful pets will do almost anything to get lavish attention from their parent. So give him all he can take and you will have one lovable loyal ferret on your hands.About the Author:
