The ferrets may harm them or be injured by them. A ferret can be trained to use a litter box with cat litter or newspaper, and will usually use any corner of any room for elimination. Keep the litter box clean and newspapers changed. Ferret excrement generally has no odor, except on humid days. The main ingredients should be meat-based, not corn or rice.
Any treat made specifically for kittens or ferrets is acceptable as a treat.
Dairy products are discouraged as treats for ferrets and chocolate is very toxic to ferrets. Like other baby animals, kits may nip. Responsible adults should always be the primary caretakers of ferrets and should provide close supervision for children playing with ferrets. Ferrets are generally not recommended for children under the age of 8, though there are exceptions, depending on the temperament of the child and of the ferret. A ferret will normally live from 6 to 9 years, so be prepared for a long term commitment Ferrets enjoy human contact.
