Ferret Dreams Rescue & Adoption is this month’s KIDS ‘N’ PETS featured Pet Partner of the Month. Thanks go out to Director, Matthew Jaramillo for sharing his insight on owning ferrets.
KIDS ‘N’ PETS: Before adopting a ferret, what is the most important thing to consider?
MATTHEW: Before adopting a ferret, a lot of research needs to be done. Ferrets are very high maintenance and curious animals. They demand a lot of attention and supervision. They aren't recommended for young children. Ferrets need to be fed a special high protein and fat diet. Their medical needs can vary but since they are considered exotics, they will require a veterinarian who has experience with ferrets.
KIDS ‘N’ PETS: What fun facts can you offer to people who are unfamiliar with ferrets?
MATTHEW: Ferrets are fun, curious and very social animals. They love to play with both humans and other ferrets. It is always best to have at least 2 ferrets so they have another ferret to play and sleep with. Ferrets love to dance and play, run through tubes and dig in rice boxes. They will keep you smiling with their antics.
KIDS ‘N’ PETS: What have you used KIDS ‘N’ PETS for?
MATTHEW: We use KIDS ‘N’ PETS every day at our rescue. We use it to clean cages, tile floors and carpet. It cleans up all accidents and even blood. All the stains come out easily and it leaves a fresh smell behind.
