subject: Ferret Cages [print this page] Some ferrets will chew up the towels, if your ferret does, watch them closely to see if he becomes ill. Ferrets love to hide to sleep, so let them disappear in their bedding for a snooze. A ferret cage should be cleaned weekly using water and mild detergent. Scrub, rents, and cover services with a disinfectant. Leave the disinfectant on for 10 minutes, then rinse well. The bedding should be changed weekly-more often if there has been an accident. Food bowls should be emptied of on eating food daily, wiped clean, and refilled. Wash bowls in dish detergent at least every week. Don't fill the food bowl completely, because some ferrets will not eat stale food. Water bottles in your ferret's cage should be emptied, cleaned up with dish detergent, thoroughly rinsed, and refilled daily. A soft toothbrush or bottlebrush is good for cleaning inside. Be sure to clean the rubber stopper and shrinking to. The key to having a happy and healthy ferret is keeping the ferret cage clean.
