ferrets are a high maintenance pet that is the third most popular pet in the world. the key to understanding ferrets is EDUCATION. anyone interested in ferrets should buy a book and read it before adopting a ferret from a shelter or purchasing one from a pet store. i would also see if there is a ferret shelter close by and volunteer there. i recommend adopting from a shelter because the shelter knows each ferrets personality: biter, nippy, blind, deaf, likes kids, gets along with other animals etc. there are genetic problems with different colorings of ferrets, and a shelter would be able to recognize these. there are many health problems that a ferret can have, some inexpensive to treat, others expensive. i highly recommend adopting from a shelter since the ferret would be litter box trained already, and any "bad" habits usually have been broken, or at least minimized.
