How To Ferret Proof Your Home

 
One of the most important things to keep in mind while you are ferret proofing your home is that you are not only keeping your home safe, but you are also keeping your

ferret safe.  http://www.12path.com/777002939363

Ferret kits are very curious and extremely energetic. They love to dig, hide, and scamper. A ferret loves to hide in small spaces. Plastic bags can be a hazard to

ferrets, as they simply adore the crinkly sound of the plastic when it moves. http://www.12path.com/936947279697

These critters like to hide in tough spots where you may not find them easily. Many a ferret has burrowed a home inside the bottom of a laundry basket, which, of

course, makes it dangerous for them. http://www.12path.com/869428195500

Whenever you let your ferret out, it is important to supervise it at all times. The best idea for making your home as ferret proof as possible is to dedicate one

particular room or space to ferret play. By doing so, you know where your ferret is and exactly what kind of space it will inhabit. Dedicating one room allows the

ferret to have free play in an area that is familiar and you will have the added bonus of knowing all the ins and outs and hideaways in that room. http://www.12path.com/710084226734

Sectioning off a small space will allow just enough room for a young ferret to play without getting into too much danger. Younger ferrets will always want to bite and

nip at objects such as pillows or couch bottoms - very much the same way that puppies and kittens will. Having plenty of toys available is one way to keep them off

your furniture. Toys do not have to be expensive either. Household objects such as a plastic tumbler is enough to keep a ferret occupied for quite some time. 

Laying down a blanket or oversized towel in the early stages where your ferret will be playing may help to keep carpeting and rugs clean. Once you know your ferret�s

routine, you will easily be able to assess when they have to use the potty, when they need a nap, and when they need their playtime. Typically, a ferret will learn to

come out and play and keep potty habits inside its cage as it is supposed to.

Think of your ferret as a small child. The same way you would put all buckets filled with water and any and all kinds of cleaning supplies and medications out of

reach, you must do the same for your ferret.

The best way to ensure ferret safety is to dedicate that one room to their playtime. This way you will not have to wonder if you have left the toilet seat up or any

small spaces that they may crawl into and get stuck. Unfortunately, the most dangerous spot in the house is the laundry room. If you do set aside one room, make sure

the closets are shut tight and have no space between the floor and the door for ferrets to crawl under. Make sure that there are no pieces of furniture the ferret can

get stuck underneath.

If a ferret was to get out of a room and into the outdoors, its chance of survival outdoors is slim.

These critters are very curious and it is our job as pet owners to keep them safe at all times.
