Can I take my ferret for a walk?
Some ferrets love walking on a leash, and others hate it. When trained properly, many ferrets will enjoy short walks outside. The good news is that, unlike most dogs, ferrets don’t need to go outside on a leash to get adequate exercise or to go to the bathroom. If your ferret won’t walk, no worries.
Do you need to take your ferret to the vet?

What kind of food do you feed a ferret?
Ferrets are true carnivores, and need a high protein, high fat diet which most dog and cat foods cannot provide. It is therefore best to feed a dry complete ferret food.

Is it possible to reduce the odor of a ferret?
Ferrets naturally have a light, musky odor. This odor is greatly minimized when the animal is spayed or neutered. Ferrets also have scent glands which release scent as a defense. These glands can be surgically removed, but it is not recommended unless medically necessary and will not reduce a ferret’s natural scent.
