I only have one ferret, but I make sure that I play with him often and give him a lot of attention. But for the times that i'm not with him, would it be okay to leave a stuffed animal in the cage with him to play with/ cuddle with while he sleeps? he loves to play with it when he's out of the...
I have a male ferret about 9 months old (nitro) and he has been an only ferret since we have gotten him, and that was in april of 2011. We brought home a new baby ferret about 4 months old (Blitz), to give our 9 month old a friend. But my 9 month old (Nitro) has been giving me mixed signals...
Hi, I adopted my little girl Coconut for a Ferret shelter about 1-2 months ago, I love her to death and on Christmas when I get enough money I am buying her a Ferret Nation. So I wouldn't get another one until after Christmas if I did. I am not explaining how I care for her because it takes too...
I just got a 2 month old ferret for a friend for my 7 month old ferret. I introduced them out of their cage and my older ferret was grabbing the baby by the scruff and pulling him, and basically being a bully! I only have one ferret cage, which is big, but I clearly can't have them in the same...

I've been considering getting a pair of ferrets next year, and have been doing some research and have heard that they are obligate carnivores, and the ferret dry kibbly can cause them cancer.
Do any of you experienced ferret owners have any raw diet recipes you'd care to share?
Additionally, I...
Name a few please? My ferrets are currently eating Marshall Ferret Diet and they smell horrible even when I spray them with waterless shampoo. I just got my ferrets last Wednesday and Marshall Ferret Diet is what they've been feeding ferrets at Petland.
I know that Albino ferrets have red eyes because of their lack of pigmentation and whatnot. But I just got a couple of ferrets. One is a big boy he's white and cinnamon. And the little girl is a sable, but she has red eyes. Any ideas why?
I posted this because I keep getting downvoted when I post that ferrets smell. I'm not particularly bothered about the down votes, because I'd rather that people had my opinion on the downsides of keeping ferrets, as I don't want people buying them then getting rid of them.
But seriously...

My friend had three ferrets, one died due to eating something (she escaped just before she became really ill so they think she got ill from that.) Anyway, before her ferret died, she was in the process of adopting a female. So after a while and once they found out what she's died from they...
Right, i'v attempted to do a bit of research on the subject but most of it is irrelevant. I used to have two female ferrets until one died yesterday. My existing ferret is sociable and friendly and needs a friend. Should i introduce one the same way as if she was a solitary ferret? I was...
