Summary

Are you thinking about getting a ferret and want to make sure that you’re uber-prepared for ferret ownership?

Or maybe you already have one and you’ve realized there's actually a lot you still don’t know or understand about them.

A pet ferret can bring you years of joy, laughter, companionship, and unconditional love in weasel form. They can also bring a lot of frustration and feelings of failure if you don’t learn enough about their needs, their behaviors, and how they see the world.

This pocket guide will:

  • Help you understand why they do the things they do by showing you how ferrets perceive their surroundings, and how they use their senses.
  • Teach you to decode what they’re saying with their vocalizations and body language.
  • Supply you with an easy laundry list of things you’ll need to get, set up, and be prepared for before bringing your new friend home (including how to ferret-proof a space).
  • Tip you off with the best DIY toys and enrichment activities.
  • Supply you with an easy-to-follow routine to have with your ferret.
  • Teach you how to train your little friend not to bite, how to go for walks on a leash, and how to use a litter box.

This book doesn’t just tell you about ferrets, it conveys the realities of ferret ownership and teaches you what to expect and how to prepare yourself for Ferrenthood.

When we take an animal into our lives, we make a commitment to be the very best human we can be for them. With this condensed, straight-forward guide packed with essential tips and information for responsible and fulfilling ferret ownership, you'll be well on your way.

YOUR GO-TO RESOURCE FOR ALL THINGS FERRET!

I was tickled to discover so much great information about these little guys! I was amazed that Victoria African packed so much useful information into this short book.
I had no idea that today’s ferrets are descendants of the European polecat. Nor was I aware that, like their big brother, the skunk, ferrets have a strong odor regardless of whether their scent glands are removed. They’re crepuscular animals. You’ll have to trust me on that one, or look it up and join the “word big-shot” club, lol.
Potties, potted plants, electrical wires - you’ve got to ferret-proof these and other items found irresistible by ferrets. But their gregarious social skills make them endearing pets. It’s clear from listening to this book that ferret owners are a special breed of people, just like their slinky little charges.
You’ll learn exactly what to get, and how to set up and prepare your home for the arrival of your ferret.
If you’re considering adding one of these intelligent, curious, and gregarious “carpet sharks” to your home, this book is definitely the one you need for all your essential ferret homework.
Nothing is left to chance, from welcoming your ferret to your home to (necessary) trips to the vet, to the finer points of bathing your weasel. Even the sad necessity of one day saying goodbye to your friend is covered, along with the warning signs that indicate he or she is ready to travel to their ancestors.
The finer points of understanding ferret behavior and even tips on training them are covered.
Even though I have no plans to add a ferret to our household any time soon, this book was an enjoyable listen and a fascinating glimpse into the world of ferrets…and their owners!
Grab a copy for the ferret lover in your life - they’ll love you for it!

A perfect ferret parent companion

This listen truly does provide everything you need to know before and after getting a ferret. I'm so glad I discovered this tool prior to jumping in, as I have wanted a ferret for ages yet had no idea about their needs or what kind of pet they make. This is a great companion for anyone wanting to adopt one of these gorgeous fur babies, and I definitely recommend a listen if you already have one, as you will surely come across new invaluable information.

Farretthood

I am in preparations for buying a ferret, and this audiobook was just what I needed to help ferret-proof my home. I loved all the chapter titles with various ferret nicknames (Carpet Shark is my favorite). I didn't realize how much work owning one was going to be, but this audiobook makes me want to get one even more. 5 stars! I highly recommend it.

Very Helpful

This book is the only one you need if you are considering getting a ferret or already have one. The author does a great job covering every detail of the little animals, and I learnt much more than I expected. I am glad I listened to this book before introducing one in my household, as I will avoid many mistakes I am sure to make, such as the kind of litter to use, the food to feed ferrets, the environment they need and how to deal with common problems such as biting and stealing. I highly recommend this book to current or prospective ferret owners, as it will make your life with your new pet much easier.

Short and comprehensive

This is a great guide for anyone looking to bring a ferret home. I was so surprised by the "end of ferret's life" guide, but I appreciate the author's courage to include it. It is better to be prepared even though it is absolutely sad to imagine the end before the start. I loved how the author covered everything, including litter choice and colors.

This was an absolute delight to listen to, especially since I'm addicted to ferret videos.

Excellent experienced knowledge!

You can tell this author really cares about ferrets and knows what she is talking about! Her advice comes from years of experience and is validated by her own research. I especially love the little tips about how to introduce your ferret to your new home (including tips for the drive home) and your other pets. The author seems like a smart person with a love for ferrets. Excellent book with all the info you need when thinking about getting a ferret as a pet! Highly recommend this book "Ferret Care"!

Amusing, Informative & Digestible

This is a really great read! It's well-written, the narrator does a great job; it covers all the essentials and even things you surely hadn't thought about. I really like that it goes into reading ferret behaviour. I absolutely agree with the author about learning to speak your animals' language so you can understand it, and its needs, so much better.
This is the perfect place to start if you're considering getting a ferret or even if you already have one (or many)!
