Researching Pet Ferrets

Video Transcript

" Hi there! I’m Fran Freedman from Morning Starr Animal Sanctuary. I’m here to tell you about how to buy a ferret on behalf of expertvillage.com. Actually, before you even start your search, you should do some research with the internet and libraries. Now, there is now no reason you can’t find out all there is you need to know about ferrets. You could go to the pet shops and you could go to some larger pet organizations to buy a ferret. Make sure that the sales person is informed and can answer all of your questions. If all of your questions are not answered, definitely do the research yourself or call a place that can answer all of your questions. There are a quite different kinds of animals; they are not like a dog or cat at all. I would suggest of course, that you would contact rescues, who are usually listed either on the American Ferret Association list at their website, which I believe is afa.com. You can search out all different rescues from all over the country. Definitely, we have almost 50 ferrets here. I know most of the rescues are also very full with young ones, old ones. We’ve got every color, every shape, size, gender, that anyone could want. But definitely, know what you’re getting into and make sure all your questions are answered before you get a ferret. "
