Ferret


Ferret is a wonderful creature, I'm so in love with this smart and cuddle fury animal. Ferrets have a long and slender body covered with brown, black, white, or mixed fur ... Average length is 20 inches including a 5 inch tail. They weigh 1.5 to 4 pounds with males substantially larger than females Ferrets are crepuscular, which means they spend 14–18 hours a day asleep and are most active around the hours of dawn and dusk

The fur of the ferret is usually brownish, although many variations of colors and patterns exist. The rarest variety is the albino (white fur and pink eyes). Some common colors that may be seen in ferrets include sable, chocolate, silver and cinnamon with patterns such as mitts (white feet), panda (white head ), badger (white blaze) and Siamese (dark legs and tail)

However, ferret have a very husky smell which not many people like it or can stand smelling it. Ferret basically are omnivores and in the wild they are excellent predetor. However my home ferret, i feed them with the same cat biscuit from japan that i feed my hedgehogs. Occasionally i feed them with some soft boiled chicken and some fruits.
