Feel free to bring songs, poems, stories, props, or teach your ferret a few tricks to show off. You can even dress them in costumes. Costume makers will be available to help you decide on your dress, if you need assistance. Provide a low-sided litter box for easy entry and exit. More than one litter box may be necessary if the ferret has supervised run of the home.
Ferrets are naturally inquisitive and can squeeze through very small spaces.
Thoroughly check every room it will inhabit, sealing all holes and openings wider than 1 inch in diameter. Make sure that all windows that may be opened have secure screens. Check the openings around plumbing, heating and air conditioning ducts or pipes. There is no innate animosity between ferrets and dogs and cats, and all can usually share a household with little difficulty. However, ferrets have been known to attack pet birds, so it is advisable for owners of both to take appropriate precautions to prevent these encounters.
