Essential Ferret Checklist

Make sure you have these supplies on hand before your new ferret comes home.

By Deborah Jeans

Before you bring home your new ferret friend, make sure you have these supplies on hand:

  • Cage—the bigger, the better—with an escape-proof latch.
  • Food with meat protein and high-fat content
  • Food and bowls that won't tip over
  • 16-ounce water bottle
  • Bedding materials, such as small pet beds or pet blankets
  • Cage litter
  • Toys—avoid soft latex or rubber cat or dog toys
  • Collar for I.D. purposes
  • Harness and leash
  • Pet carrier for trips in car

This is nice if all you want is the bare minimum of supplies. What about grooming supplies and toys though.

This list is a very good one. I should have had a list like this one before I got my Vivi. I almost had everything on the list except for the collar for ID purposes
