5. Ferret food is expensive, and if not a good enough quality your ferret can get sick.
6. Ferrets require at LEAST 3 hours of play outside of their cage a day. This does not mean you can just let your ferret outside of the cage and have them run about. They must be supervised at all times or they will damage the house, possibly escape, or hurt themselves.
7. They eat rubber. Anything rubber will be chewed. Phone buttons, remote buttons, video game controller parts, rubber balls, ect. This not only destroys your electronics, but the rubber can get impounded in their stomach cause them to get sick, and even die.
I've have two dogs, and two cats. None of these were even close to the demand that a ferret takes. These are NOT cage animals. They are not dogs, they will not obey and admire you. They are not cats, they will never be independent of your care.
