The originally wild predator and hunter has now become a humane and tame pet through domestication. Since they belong to the stinking marten group, our pet ferrets still have their stink glands. However, these are only used in exceptional fear or stressful situations. Because ferrets are very social animals, they prefer to live in groups. Male ferrets should be neutered in time, because as unneutered males they often show "macho" behavior and can even become aggressive and spray urine to mark their territory.

The life expectancy of ferrets is up to 8 years. Their body length is up to 40 cm in females and up to 70 cm in males. Females can weigh up to about 1000 g, males up to about 2000 grams.

The best living environment for our ferrets are very large enclosures with a minimum size of 120 x 80 cm, as these animals have an extreme urge to move. Ferrets also need free time in their own room and a lot of variety. Since ferrets are real climbers, the enclosure should be very high and have different levels for the animals. Differently attached ladders, stairs, ropes and cords, willow tunnels and tube systems - and ideally also a hammock.

They like to retreat and hide in their own enclosure. Ferrets do not need bedding, but a soft blanket or basket is very nice for them.

Very important! Ferrets are not only tame, but also very playful. Toys are therefore very welcome!
Add a litter box or digging bucket and the play can begin! Ferrets can also be house trained and will love a Toilet.
