American Ferrets »

Ferrets make wonderful pets. They are very intelligent and quite clever. Today, ferrets are considered to be the third most popular companion pet in the U.S. They are fairly easy to care for and feed. They require frequent cage cleaning and should have annual vet check-ups to maintain their health. They are well worth the effort. Ferrets are quite entertaining with their antics. They love to play and interact with their owners and with other household pets. If you are considering becoming a ferret owner, please read this book. You will gain all the knowledge you need to be a wonderful ferret owner. This is a how-to manual, a hands-on reference book to assist ferret owners in the proper care and maintenance of their pet ferret. This book was written to be used as a guide, enabling you to provide the very best care for your ferret. It is written in everyday language that everyone can understand and includes a list of shelters and rescues nationwide, which are meant to help assist those shelters and rescues with more adoptions and donations. I tried to incorporate one or two shelters/rescues per state. This book offers information about some of the diseases and illnesses known to the ferret world. A second book is currently being written that will provide extensive, up-to-date information regarding ferret health care. Holistic approaches to treatment will be examined as well as surgical procedures, medications, and therapies for sick ferrets.
