I want to have a ferret that is VERY heathly and that is VERY VERY VERY VERY fun.What shampoo's, food, treaths, vitamins, and ect. are the healthy for your ferret? And what toys do they love?
Get these:





Nbones


Ferretone


Ferret lax (laxatone for cats works as well)


Petroleum Jelly (the kids LOVE THIS) (yes just petroleum jelly)


Any soft cat food treats


the red dog Kong toys (medium, small sizes work well) (do not get puppy kind, the rubber is not strong enough, get red color!)


Crocheted Eggs (http://thecrochetedferret.com/DerbysPage鈥?/a> they love to shake and ';kill'; these!


the Clear Ferret Tube (all ferrets need at least one of these)


A tub filled with biodegradeable starch peanuts (like the burgerking kid's ball pit, but for ferrets!)





If you had all of these your ferrets would be in heaven. At least mine think they are! Our ball pit is the side of a twin size bed... :)What shampoo's, food, treaths, vitamins, and ect. are the healthy for your ferret? And what toys do they love?
(Sorry for writing so much)








Well I just use the ferret shampoo that was at Petco for my 2 ferrets. Mine are Marshall Farms ferrets so the guy at Petco recommended that I give them Marshall Farms premium ferrets food and treats. Because if you feed them with their food they are guaranteed for a year and that is what they are raised their whole life. Something you can consider is mixing half ferret food and half kitten food to save a little on cost. Kitten food has them same protein, fat, etc content as ferret food. But that's purely up to you.





As for treats, the treats I got for mine...one of my ferrets likes them and my other doesn't. So you'll have to find something it likes. Ferrets are carnivores so you can give them any kind of meat as a treat as long as it's unseasoned, breaded, etc.





Make sure to get some ear cleaner, their ears get pretty nasty after a couple weeks or so. and their nails grow pretty quick as well, you can just use human nail clippers though.





Umm toys...don't worry about expensive things, ferrets will enjoy pretty much anything. Warning though...a lot of people have said they'll love toilet paper rolls and stuff. So I had those and paper towel rolls in their little room. They were 3 months old and you could tell their heads weren't ever going to get in there. But one day one of them was playing around, acting crazy and somehow lodged his head in a paper towel roll and got stuck. O.o He was ok but it scared the crap out of me, I had to rip it to get it off of him. So that's something to look out for.





Other than that, mine have loved boxes. They'll tip them over, hide under them, jump in them. They'll FLIP if you have packing peanuts or something. They also love digging, so we actually had a small plastic child swimming pool full of sand. They loved that but it was messy. They'd love it just as much with shredded paper or something similar. But yeah, they'll pretty much enjoy anything. They are wild little things!





Good luck with the new addition! :D

I would never feed my ferret marshal ..anything.. treats.. food.. nothing.. Marshall is such a disgusting company.. If you can.. try to purchase your ferret from another breeder.. Petco has changed from marshall ferrets to a new canadian breeder... canadian ferrets are GIANTS :) I have a peterson ferret from Reno he's almost 4.





i use baby shampoo's because you can choose different scents and they don't dry out their skin as much as the leading ferret shampoo's do..





food... food is in my opinion the key essential to keeping a healthy ferret.. buy innova evo ferret food.. it's made exclusively for ferrets by a premium food company.. go to their website to find a retailer near you.. if you have money and want to try something even better. look up path valley farms foods.. she makes neat things and really cares for her ferrets.. also she is a breeder ;)
