There are some people who got the wrong idea thinking that, although ferrets are now domesticated animals, they still have wild blood in them and so their immune systems are stronger compared to other animals. But what you should know is that, even those animals who can take good care of themselves are still at risk of acquiring diseases and these domesticated animals are not in exemption.

In fact, aside from dogs and cats, ferrets are considered one of the top most domesticated animals in the United States. A lot of people do find the fun in owning a pet ferret and certainly ferrets at the same time, have the unique ability of brightening any home.

Moreover, the reason for their domestication is the fact that they can chase their preys even under burrows and land...

Knowing where we come from is part of understanding who we are. Ferret care begins with an understanding of the history and background of our ferret friend. Ferrets are part of the Mustelidae family (Mustela putorius furo) and appear to be a domesticated breed of the European polecat. Their name is derived from the Latin term for thief which fits them well as they love to steal and hoard. They are related to the weasel, mink, otter, badger and skunk. One characteristic that separates them from their relatives is the ability to be tamed for life and feel quite comfortable around humans. Some people confuse the domesticated ferret with its distant cousin the black-footed ferret (Musela nigrapes), a...

Most of the time, ferret buyers base their decision on ferret colors when making a purchase. The most common ferret colors are sable, cinnamon and albino.

Yes, ferrets reek! But ferrets make good pets and I would still recommend owning one of these fascinating animals. There is a reason why they are fast becoming a popular pet and I'm here to tell you why. But first, I want to address the "reek" factor of ferrets. They do come from the weasel family and carry a musk that might not be to everyone's liking. But, unless you're planning to breed ferrets, a quick spay or neuter by your veterinarian will control the odor. On a side note, spaying or neutering your ferret is done mostly for health reasons, not odor control. So whether you like the smell or not, get your pet spayed or neutered. Ferrets are good looking creatures, and that's why you first...

The pet ferret is a very popular pet. In fact, in the United States it is the third most common domestic pet. It may not seem like it in many areas, but it is true.

Just like all other animals and humans, ferrets too are subject to abandonment and abuse. This is a growing trend not only in the United States alone, but is something that is being experienced the world over. Although ferret shelter owners are growing in numbers, the resources that are essential to maintain and feed ferrets are scarce. Most ferret shelter owners work tirelessly so that they gain the required financial help, an extra hand, time and other resources that would make shelters safe for ferrets to eat, sleep and play in and most importantly provide medical attention, love and a permanent home if that is possible. Let's look at what ferret shelter homes really do for ferrets - Ferret...

It was written by the satirical Greek writer known as Aristophanes. Later, the Greek naturalist and philosopher Aristotle (yes, the one we have all heard of!) mentions this little dude again. As history progressed, it seems so did the ferrets ability to meet the needs of humans. Take for example Caesar Augustus of the Roman Empire.

Boredom sets in quickly for a dog and if not given some outlet, their barking can become excessive. It is possible...
