It is estimated that in the United States there are eight to ten million ferrets being kept as pets.
Ferrets are a very unique animal always playful, inquisitive, and loving.
They demand interaction with a human and if they do not get it and are kept caged without having the out of cage time and the human interaction that they need they can turn nippy. I feel strongly that ferrets should be kept caged or in a ferret-proofed room of their own when their human is not around to supervise them. No matter how many ferrets you have you will quickly learn that each ferret has its own distinctly different personality. A pet carrier can easily be outfitted with a hammock, a litter box, a blanket, food and water dishes this makes for all the comforts of home while traveling. They have special needs, they have special traits and because of their never ending need for adventure they can get hurt requiring medical treatment.
