🐾Facts😊🐾
Hi! I thought if I'm writing a ferret blog, I should add in some facts !!!
as you can see I have a You tube video from animal planet up there to give some facts with evidence.
Btw it is not true that they only come in 2 colors, they come in: sable, cinnamon, silver mitt, albino, black eyed white, chocolate, panda or black & white, blaze, sandy. Plus breeders are still breeding ferrets into many other colors.
Supplies you will need: 1. ferret cage 2. ferret toys 3. water bottle 4. food dish (🐾try not to do something they can chew🐾) 5. ferret food 6. harness & leash 7. litter box 8. ferret shampoo & brush 9. vet that is experienced with ferrets :)
B4 you get a ferret : 🐾Check if ferrets are legal in your state, if you are from a completely different country I assume you have nothing to worry about😏🐾 ALLWASE GET THE SUPPLISE AND FERRET PROOF THE HOUSE B4 YOU GET THE FERRET!!! Set up the supply's you got. Yet again ferret proof the house!!! Get a vet that is experienced with ferrets :)
When you get the ferret: Let it explore its new cage and try not to bug it, a new home takes some time getting used to :) The 2nd day let it play outside its cage for 1-2 hours with tones of super vision (every day let it play outside of its cage)! 💘 Increase your bond by holding it and playing with it, be patient it might take some time :)
What are ferrets?: Ferrets are animals from the mustelid or also known as weasel family. So that means they are related to, weasels, polecats, black footed ferrets, skunks, otters, wolverines, etc., etc., etc.. Scientists are pretty shure that ferrets were domesticated from polecats.
Gender Names: As humans we call our self baby, boy, girl, man, woman, people, and humans 👪. Did you know ferrets have that to but they have different names for it? 🐾A baby ferret is called a Kit. A group of kits is a Litter. A girl ferret is called a Jill. A boy ferret is called a Hob. A spayed Jill is called a Sprite. A neutered Hob is called a Gib. A Group of ferrets is called a Business.🐾
Life span: How old do they live to you ask? 7-10 years and maybe, maybe 15 probably very rare though.
How long do they sleep?: Sometimes up to 15 hours a day! ( Don't worry they are not nocturnal ! 😄 ) They need all that energy to play!! ( Sometimes ferrets will sleep so heavily the owner thinks there ferret is dead! But its not 😆 ) its perfect if you have a job or go to school because they are usually sleeping when you are there!
Bath Time!!: If you washed the video you would know that they have a slight odor. If you don't know what that means go to the button below that says odor.
You might be thinking: "when do I give my ferret a bath?" The answer is once a month. Its enough to lessen the odor but not dry out the skin 😌.
