Modern people like to keep pets as companions, such as dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, fish, squirrels, ferrets and so on. Today, Bian Xiao is here to introduce how ferrets are raised.

How to raise ferrets?

1. To raise ferrets, you must first prepare cages, feed, food pots, kettles, toilets, cat litter, mats and other items. The cage should be big, the bottom of the grid should be vertical and the gap should be small; The feed is special feed for ferrets; Choose a basin according to your own weight; Use a spherical water dispenser; Square toilet; Choose cat litter products that will not solidify and harden and are harmless to the body.

2. Take a bath once a week, pluck your ears and cut your nails. Dry it with a deerskin towel after bathing and put it in a quick-drying bag to avoid catching a cold.

3. Where there is a gap in the feeding place, block it and avoid going in (such as furniture or clothes and kitchen, basically the same as cats, as long as the head can pass, about 80% of the body can pass), and pay attention to going in and out.

4. Drink plenty of water, the basin should not be empty, and the bedpan should be cleaned every day. In addition, mink cages and hammocks should be cleaned regularly.

Ferrets are cold-resistant and heat-resistant, and are very sensitive to high temperatures. Many deaths are caused by heat stress and heat exhaustion, so the temperature in the place where ferrets are kept should not exceed 30 degrees Celsius. When summer comes, always provide drinking water. Ferrets lack sweat glands and dissipate heat through the lungs, so special attention should be paid to indoor air convection and cooling measures. Don't expose ferrets to the sun, and don't keep them in a stuffy space.

When raising ferrets, they should be vaccinated regularly and disinfected and deodorized when appropriate.
