Ferrets

Ferrets are very cute and reasonably silly and fun to watch. They really like playing and can fit into small places. You should never put a ferret outside and should find out about ferret proofing your house. Ferrets would not survive long in the wild, because there are wild animals, and storms and floods are always a possibility. They need at least 2 whole hours a day of attention, just 2 hours. They would probably like a playmate though, as long as it's 2 females. Any other combination of the genders will not work. It is a good idea to get 2 cages  if you are getting 2 ferrets because each ferret is born with its own unique personality, so 1 may or may not get along with the other 1. So put 1 cage 2 to 3 inches away from the other cage for at least for the first week so that they can get used to each other. Unless they have been cage mates for they're whole entire lives since they where born.
