Housing Your хорек Ferrets are active, curious Животные that should be allowed to run free when awake and be caged only when required for safety. Should Ты not be able to allow the Животные a large area with toys to roam about freely and explore, then ferrets are not the pet for you. When it is necessary to confine your pets, they should be kept in a cage large enough to allow separate sleeping, eating, litter and play areas. Generally, a cage of 1 metre by 1/2 metre (40 inches by 20 inches) can house one to three ferrets comfortably for a short period of time или for travel. If confined for too long, they become frustrated and claw или gnaw at the cage, resulting in dental damage. When it is necessary to keep the Животные caged, exercise in a large area conducive to exploration for periods of two to three hours twice a день is advised. Remember that a cage is a dangerous place for Животные that roughhouse when playing. Make sure that there are no exposed wires, gaps between wires that could catch toes and nails, loose doors или panels that can catch a head, или perch-like shelves that the ferrets can fall from when playing. Ferrets Любовь to tunnel, so their favourite beddings are sheets, towels, blankets, sweaters and such. These items are ideal for ferrets to snuggle into, but ensure that sweaters and blankets do not have decorations on them that the хорек can pull off and swallow. SSmall cardboard boxes, bags of plastic and paper, throw rugs and towels, white socks and clean linen: These are some of a ferret's Избранное things. Fancy toys are nice for humans, but the child in the хорек enjoys the things he can crawl into, under, and through, like drainage pipe and box lids. The leavings of the latest shopping expedition (bags, boxes, etc.) are the greatest gift mankind can bestow
