Another domesticated animal these days, although relatively rare, are the ferrets. Ferrets are domestic mammals that typically have brown, black, white or mixed fur and have an average length of approximately 20 inches.

Ferrets are energetic, curios animals that are interested in their surroundings when awake. They spend up to 18 hours a day sleeping and sleep more than most domesticated animals. Ferrets are interested in holes, pipes and other small enclosed areas, and seem compelled to explore holes. They are carnivores and their natural diet consists of whole prey such as mice and rabbits. There are commercial ferret food products as alternate food.

Ferret inquisitiveness often exceeds common sense and ferrets are good at getting into holes in walls, doors, cupboards, or in or behind household appliances such as clothes dryers and dishwashers, where they can be injured or killed by drowning, electrical wiring, fans, and other household items. Although they need to get exercise and satisfy their abundant curiosity daily, they also need to be contained especially when they are alone.

There are different sizes of cages and amenities for ferrets. Ideally it should be made of metals bars. Ferrets like to chew on everything and can get poisoned by plastic coatings on metal wire cages. The cage should have small space in between so that they cannot squeeze out. Make sure that the cage has enough space and the pet can move around freely, the larger the better. It should also have a room for food that is far from a litter box. There are cages that consist of complex features such as, ramps, tubes, and soft hammocks. This helps to keep them mentally active. Do not try to put them in a glass aquarium. Aquariums do not provide sufficient ventilation. Ferrets need breathable space.

Select a cage that has easy-cleaning feature, lock closures that snap or click. Look for reliable pet store to help you choose the appropriate cage for ferrets. There are also plenty of online stores that offer different types of ferret cages. Make sure the cage will keep your ferret comfortable and safe.
