Ferrets

Where should I keep my ferrets?

The biggest decision to make (after deciding to keep ferrets as companions) is where to keep them. This is a decision that can affect your life (and your ferrets’ lives! ) for the next 10 years (or more), so it is one worth giving a lot of thought.

What do I need to know about reproductive control in ferrets (including desexing)?

Some important things to know about ferrets and reproduction: A male ferret is called a ‘hob’. A female ferret is called a ‘jill’. Jills are ‘induced ovulators’. This means that the release of eggs (ovulation) from the jill’s ovaries is induced by mating.
