They can adapt their schedules to yours so they ll be awake and ready to play when you are. Make this readily available throughout the day, as ferrets digest food quickly and eat 7 to 10 meals a day. Avoid giving your ferret any moist, canned cat food, which can contribute to dental-tartar formation. Offer treats such as meats, starches, vegetables and fruits. Give no more than 1 tsp.
Examples are bits of mashed banana, pieces of seedless melon, green peas and chopped cucumber.
Provide a cage that s equipped with a water bottle and lined with newspaper on top of linoleum. Make sure the cage is large enough for exercise. For one or two ferrets, the cage should measure 18 by 30 by 36 inches and contain at least two levels. Keep your ferret in his cage unless supervised. Place a litter box inside the cage filled with kitty litter.
