If you can get ferrets early enough, biting should not be a problem. I however loved the fact mine were unpredictable :lol: , they will give you so much joy if you look after them properly.
They are lazy, sleeping up to 18hrs a day , but when they are awake they are like little firecrackers. Looked after properly they will live up to 7-8 yrs , also don’t get 1 as they get lonely :( there is a lot to be said for the saying as mad as a bag of ferrets .
Feed on james wellbeloved ferret food , mine loved it. also my jill was physco for bananas. She was super smart, my hob not so much.
Watching them bounce about sideways, dooking ther little heads off is hilarious ,yeah they smell a bit , more so if they get a fright. They will happily live in a hutch outside as mine did but they also got into the house every night , just give them plenty of stuff for their wee brains to get stimulation out of , mine had a suspended black flexi drainage pipe circuit with a slide in there run which they loved.
Watch youtube video’s and do the research & think carefully about it. I’ll admit I got a lot more upset than a grown man should when their time ran out , but thats life :|
