I have always always wanted a ferret and I am considering getting one this year. But I don't really know anything about them or keeping them. I do know you can put them on leads as someone had one on a train a few years ago

So can you give me some info or websites to look at please?

Thank You.

thats my thoughts and experience with these animals had a couple a few years ago.
But they cute and clever

Very playful, time consuming, poop anywhere they want

The females need to be neutered or they can become seriously ill as they need a castrated male to take them out of there session. Hobs [males] are a bit more smelly more musty. They are very socail, lively playful animals. Although if there upset they can bite to the bone.

Just to correct you. A castrated male cannot bring a female out of heat, only a vasectomised hob can. Either that or a female would need to have jill jabs to bring her out of heat

Do you have to keep them in pairs or are they ok on their own?

It's not recommended to keep them on their own, they can get very lonely. They thrive when they have another ferret to play with. When i got my first ferret, he was on his own and when i introduced another ferret soon after, he did so much better. Now i have 4 males living together

male ferrets can be kept on there own. would you keep the ferret outdoors in a cage? or do you plan on having ferrets as house pets? I dont know why people say they smell so bad, yeah if they arnt looked after properly they will just like any animal! It really annoys me ferrets are fantastic pets.
