The domesticated ferret is an elongated mammal that closely resembles the weasel. Domestication of ferrets dates all the way back to 1500 BC, though wild ferrets do still exist. Ferrets make great pets, and seem to be more people-friendly than the typical housecat. Making your home ferret-friendly is often the most challenging aspect of ferret ownership. Ferrets tend to enjoy chewing on rubber and foam items and can be harmed if these are ingested. Also, ferrets can chew holes into walls and be injured by electrical wires, or they can escape to the outdoors. Ferrets are meat eaters and live on a diet of meat, organs, and raw bones. For the domestic ferret, there are a variety of dry foods available. Learn more about your pet ferret in these educational video clips. See examples of different cages, foods, and litter boxes recommended for domestic ferrets. Learn the basics of ferret behavior and learn how to handle a ferret. Also get important information about pet ferret health, including how to vaccinate your new pet.
"Hi my name is Sarah and I am here at Petland in Pembroke Pines, Florida to educate you a little bit today about caring for your ferret. You generally should bathe your ferret about every other week. You do not want to do it any more frequently than that because bathing your ferret too frequently will dry out their coat which will make their skin overproduce the oils and then you can find your ferret has even more of an odor he or she did before you started bathing. It is also important to protect your ferret against fleas which should be done with a ferret safe product. You should consult your ferret veterinarian before choosing any products to treat fleas on your ferret. There are a number of products out there that are safe for cats and dogs that can cause severe reactions in ferrets and can be very dangerous. Therefore once again, before treating your ferret for fleas you should contact your ferret veterinarian. 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."
