The love for Ferrets

Aint they cute? They are just lovely.

I was oohing and aahing when I saw this photo. This is so cute to have 3 baby ferrets in a cup. Ferret comes in colours like brown, black, white, or mixed fur. They have an average length of approximately 20 inches, and it weighs about 2-4 pounds. They can live up to 7-10 years.

I spend 14 to 18 hours a day sleeping, and are most active during dawn and dusk. I’m very active when awake and likes to be released from my cage to get exercise.

Being so closely related to polecats, ferrets are quite easily able to hybridize with them, and this has occasionally resulted in feral colonies of ferret polecat hybrids that have been perceived to have caused damage to native fauna. As a result, some parts of the world have imposed restrictions on the keeping of ferrets.

I’m active and curious about things around me. I like to play with humans.

I can entertain myself easily and do no need to have toys to be with me.

Are we playing hide-and-seek?

Yes, we are. I shall hide under this cover. No one can find me.
