Pet Ferret Adoption 101 - The Basics


Buying a ferret at the pet store is fun, but actually adopting one can be even more fun. There are many ferrets out there that need a home, either because their owners got tired of them, or perhaps they fell on hard times and just could not afford to feed them. Whatever the reason, you have many choices and there is no reason that you shouldn't be able to adopt a cute little ferret.

There are a few things that you will need to ask yourself. The most obvious question being whether or not there are any local laws regarding ferrets. Some states regard them as being too dangerous to keep in the home. If you find that there is a law against keeping a pet ferret, then you have pretty much hit a brick wall. But perhaps the state allows it. If so, you need to make some preparations.

Where will you keep your ferret? Do you have a cage? When you bring him home you are going to need to have a good cage right away, and of course you should have some entertainment for your ferret. Ferrets tend to get bored very easily, so some good toys would serve your purposes nicely. Also remember that ferrets eat, so buy some food that is formulated especially for ferrets.

Now comes the fun part: finding the ferret. There are many animal rescue shelters around and there are a few methods of finding them. The most obvious method would be to look in the phone book. You should be able to find several different phone numbers for animal shelters, but if you want to find the best ones, then ask at your local pet store.

The internet will also be a great resource for finding animal rescue shelters. You will be able to search through many different listings, all without changing out of your pajamas. Just make sure you are finding local results that are actually reliable.

Though the internet is a great way to adopt a ferret, you need to have the ferret examined before you actually adopt it. You don't know the ferrets history, and you don't know whether or not it has received it's shots. You also don't know it's condition, so make sure you can afford to take care of this ferret!

Ferrets are very unique pets, but that doesn't mean they aren't great to have around. Sometimes they might be hard to train, but if you can handle them, then you might just have yourself a lifelong friend. So look around and see what you can find.
