j davies 8 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 how do you feed them how can you get ferrets and you do not non how to look after tehm mate why dont you get books and see some one that owns one and ask first they not some thing you put in a cage get a shovel in they oness a day and chuck some meat in does not work like that they need to go out on the harden handle them every day play with them fresh water and things like that please think before youget one Quote Link to post
COMPO 54 Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 Important thing in the heat is only to give small portions of meat and to remove the leftovers the next day or the meat will go off and the fererts will get poisoned, make sure they have lots of water, i used a thick earthen wear bowl as well as a bottle, the ferrets seem to prefer the bowl and young kits dont seem to understand how to use a bottle at first (i also dont think they can get it out of them fast enough). Wood shavings in the corner, and clean it out when it needs it, no need to clean the entire hutch just where they go to the loo. I use shavings in the bed box too during the summer, hay or an old towel during the winter. make sure the hutch isn't in direct sunlight in the middle of teh day.......heat kills, a bit of shade and out of any direct breezes as well, and good luck, ferrets are quiet tough and will pay you back, treat them firm and kind, feed and water ad you will enjoy keeping them Quote Link to post
