I ferret once or couple of times a week in the season but out of season they don't get worked but still give them plenty of exercise letting them walk round my local field or just playing in there cage. There's a book called complete guide to ferrets by James McKay will tell you all you need to know. Brian Plummer has couple of good books also. As already said try get out with someone before you buy all the gear so you know it's for you. Atb mateI've just read the James McKay book . Really , really good book . Can see it being constantly being reffered back to.
What Plummer book do you rec
