A ferret owner should be able to spend a few hours a day playing with their pet. But you must be willing and able to devote time to interacting with your pet on a daily basis. Ferrets generally also enjoy interacting with other ferrets. If you have more than one ferret, you'll often find them bouncing around a room in the middle of a game of catch, play-wrestling beneath your sofa or bed, or curled together in a hammock sleeping. It doesn't take many new ferret owners long to determine that they need a companion for their pet.
Ferrets are mischievous and curious creatures.
Rooms where ferrets are allowed to play should be free of electrical appliances, as they often chew cords. Surfaces should be clear of breakables, as ferrets will find a way to climb onto most furniture. Ferrets instinctually seek out corners to urinate and defecate, so they are litter box trainable. Their little boxes should be cleaned daily. Ferrets also need their claws trimmed every few weeks.
