• You will need to clean out the ferrets’ home every day. • You need to provide a large, safe area where your ferrets can exercise every day outside their hutch or cage. • You will need to make arrangements for someone to look after your ferrets if you go away on vacation. • You will need to register your ferrets

with a veterinary practice. Ferrets need an annual vaccination against distemper, a disease that can kill, even if they are kept indoors. Every 18 months or so they will require hormone implants. Neutering ferrets is not recommended as they can develop a disease of the glands. • You will need to check the ferret’s coat, weight and nails every week. • You will need to be able to commit to looking after your ferrets throughout their life, which may last ten years.
