Summary: The domesticated ferret is an elongated mammal that closely resembles the weasel. Domestication of ferrets dates all the way back to 1500 BC, though wild ferrets do still exist. Ferrets make great pets, and seem to be more people-friendly than the typical house cat. Making your home ferret-friendly is often the most challenging aspect of ferret ownership. Ferrets tend to enjoy chewing on rubber and foam items and can be harmed if these are ingested. Also, ferrets can chew holes into walls and be injured by electrical wires, or escape to the outdoors. Ferrets are meat eaters and live on a diet of meat, organs and raw bones. For the domestic ferret, there are a variety of dry foods available.

Ferrets love to travel, but with that travel comes a lot of stress that they don't handle very well. In this free video series, you will not only learn how to tell if your ferret is under stress from traveling, but also how to make it more comfortable. These videos will also address signs you should not travel with your pet, as well as some legal issues that might arise if you do.
