ferret care

Caring for a ferret at home is not too complicated, but this does not mean that the pet can be left to itself. As with other animals, there are standard procedures for caring for ferrets.

Regularly (at least once every 1 weeks) check the condition of the ferret’s nails and trim them if necessary. If the ferret’s claws become too long, it will have difficulty moving. In addition, overgrown claws cling to soft coverings or carpets, and the ferret can dislocate the paw.

These animals have a very unpleasant smell, so a necessary part of caring for ferrets is bathing (about once every 1 weeks). By the way, many ferrets are enthusiastic about water procedures. For washing, you can use a special shampoo. After bathing, dry the animal – wrap it in a towel.

Some ferrets are very accommodating to brushing, especially when they are shedding. For combing a ferret, you can use a comb for a short-haired cat.
