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. Failure to do this can be a danger to your ferret, as longer claws can get caught in carpeting or bedding and cause injury when the ferret tries to break free. Ferrets naturally have a musky odor. Periodic bathing is necessary.
