When returning a ferret to its cage, do make a conscious effort
to check the cage is secure, they are amazing escape artists.

Ferret hutches as a minimum size should be about 48’’ x 24” x 24” approximate dimensions, the larger the better. My ferrets are kept outside, the cages are under a cover, the front flaps are lowered at night and used as an awning during the day, to protect against sun or rain. I brush out the soiled saw dust daily and totally clean the cage weekly. The water bottles are refilled daily and feeding dishes washed after every feeding visit. I let the ferret roam free in a room while the cage is cleaned.
The ferrets are checked each time I pass their hutches. They are handled at every opportunity. I feed them morning and evening with James Wellbeloved ferret complete, a special ferret biscuit food. Occasional treats of chicken or turkey scraps or a drink of milk diluted with an equal portion of water is okay.

Ferrets make superb pets, they are very clean and easy to look after.
Like all captive animals, they deserve, and are entitled to be kept clean.
