If the ferret is left alone at home, check and neutralize all potential risks (sockets, sharp objects, open drawers, important objects …) and small objects that usually likes to hide. They often use hutch type cages, but with minimum dimensions of 50 x 40 x 40 cm. Our friend is very clean and needs will always in the same corner, which will facilitate your toilet. Each week we will proceed to disinfect the cage with bleach and detergent but always rinse well to avoid leaving any residue that can poison our guest. Also prepare for bed kitty litter, and we will withdraw their stools every day.
We can use a drinking fountain for the cage type of rabbit.

Hygiene

First we have to deform with the drug deemed appropriate by the veterinarian. This will have to be done every three months. Vaccination is equal to that of a dog, starting with the trivalent (oviparous, osteoporosis and hepatitis), plus eight months of age when he will have to administer rabies vaccine.

On the hygiene ferret requires some care because it has a distinctive smell that can bother people. To surpass this issue, though not a very good idea, we can bathe our ferret once a month if you wish. We will use a neutral shampoo dog to be possible which in turn is an insecticide and deodorant.

To bathe our friend have to get used to the water from very young so it is recommended that after you meet the deadlines of the boosters we call on our ferret to test water from the shower. The water should be at a temperature of thirty to thirty-four degrees. Yes trembles more by the impression from the cold. Then proceed to wipe with a towel. During your treatment is always tricky because it is a very sensitive animal.
