Just be careful not to cut the red line in the ferret's nail, as that is the blood vessel, and will bleed profusely if cut. Bedding You will need something soft for your ferret to cuddle up in. Old towels, blankets, sheets, or clothing works great. You will also need a hammock, the softer the better. Old t-shirts also work great as hammocks, weave the arms through the top of the cage, and use binder clips to hold up the two bottom ends.
Ferrets are creatures of comfort, they like soft cuddly items.
Never use wood chips, your ferrets will not be comfortable in them. Treats and Deterrents Linatone or Ferretone are excellent treats and work well as training aids. Just be careful not to give your ferret too much, as these are high in vitamins and fatty oils. A few drops a day are sufficient. Just about anything can be given as a treat, as long as it is not in excess.
