Ferrets are curious, energetic and highly individual animals.
Their playful nature can make them entertaining companions, but they also require considerable attention and a carefully prepared environment. Exploring, hiding, investigating objects and engaging in active play are natural parts of ferret behaviour.
Because of their curiosity and physical flexibility, ferrets can access spaces that owners may not initially consider. They also have species-specific nutritional and social needs.
Understanding their natural behaviour is essential before deciding whether a ferret is a suitable pet.
