  7. 20 mins a day is fine mate,mine are lucky if they get 10 mins during the week when iam flat out. HOWEVER.....i raised them all from kits and some from birth and i do put -A LOT -of time in during the first 6 months of their life, which is why i get away with it i think.The bonding and trust is done in that first 4-6 months imo.

Yep 6ft x2ft x2ft min, any size court would be better.Defo a pair or more,which will help when out working them as well.If your new to the game and plan on keeping/working ferrets for a few years then i would get a young hobb and have him done at the vets.You can then add as many jills as you like knowing you can take them out of season when nessersary .If you ever get to the stage you want to breed borrow a hobb in or get another hobb of your own.Good luck!!
  10. Dam sight more reliable than mine i bet
