"Hi my name is Sarah, and on behalf of expertvillage.com I am here at Petland in Pembroke Pines, Florida to educate you a little bit today about caring for your ferret. As far as caging goes, the bigger the better. You do not want to use any aquariums or Plexiglas enclosures as they do not provide adequate ventilation for your ferret. You want a large cage like this one with shelves and hammocks. You can put bedding in the bottom such as recycled paper bedding like this one or you can use newspaper or any of the pellet litters out there. You do not want to use cat litter or wood shavings as they can be very irritating to your ferret’s respiratory track. It is also important to clean the cage frequently. This will help cut down on the odors. Ferrets are members of the musk and skunk families so they do have a certain kind of odor. You should wash the linens in their cage several times a week and you should clean the cage very thoroughly once a week. You should keep your ferret’s cage indoors as what is comfortable for you is comfortable for them. In many parts of the country it gets too hot or too cold for your ferrets outdoors. If you would like anymore information about the animal hospital that I work at, you can go to www.extracareanimalhospital.net and if you would like anymore information about Petland in Pembroke Pines, you can go to www.petland.com."
