Special Requirements Ferrets are extremely appealing because of their mischievous characters and lively, playful behavior. But, like all animals, they have their own special requirements which you need to know about before buying your first ferrets. This is important so you can have a good relationship with your ferrets, and they can live long, healthy and happy lives. • You must handle your ferrets gently, even when playing with them. They are small animals and grabbing and squeezing will cause them pain. It could result in the ferret biting you or squirming out of your hand and being dropped, which is why they are not suitable pets for young children. • You need to give your ferrets the right food to stay fit and healthy. Ferrets are true carnivores and cannot be fed a vegetarian diet.
