Ferret

Ferrets are intelligent, playful domesticated animals descended from European polecats, known for their curious nature and boundless energy. These elongated mammals require spacious, multi-level enclosures with hammocks and hiding spots to thrive. Essential care includes a specialized high-protein diet (ferret kibble or raw meat), fresh water daily, and regular veterinary check-ups with exotic animal specialists. Ferrets are social creatures that benefit from companionship and several hours of supervised out-of-cage playtime. They require litter training, nail trimming, and de-scenting procedures. With proper care, ferrets live 6-10 years and make engaging, affectionate companions for experienced pet owners.
