There are several places in Grand Island to purchase a pet and pet supplies. Jeanne Allen, manager of Murray's Animal World in Grand Island, said the shop carries cats, small dogs, fish, birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, snakes, tarantulas and ferrets, among others. They're a lot of fun because they are very curious and active. In addition to the animals, Murray's also carries pet supplies, including food, toys, leashes, vitamins and even hammocks for ferrets. Different animals make different demands on their owners, ferrets included.
Ferrets are social creatures who depend on companionship.
They need at least one hour of playtime and exercise a day. They aren't recommended for people with small children because they will nip. When buying a dog, house size needs to be considered when picking a breed. Small dogs are best for apartments. They can be trained to use litter boxes, don't require much exercise and eat less.
