Things To Know Before Buying A Ferret

  • Ferrets are not rodents but mammals. These intelligent and lively animals weigh from 1-3 pounds (females) up to 5-6 pounds (males).
  • Ferrets come in a variety of colors. Albinos (white with ruby eyes) are the original color; other colors include sable (with a raccoon-like mask), chocolate (brown), silver, and cinnamon.
  • Ferrets are a long-term commitment. They can live about 8 to 10 years.
  • Ferrets require daily interaction. Similar to cats, they are small, quiet, and relatively easy to care for, but ferrets still need daily human companionship and interaction, just like dogs.
  • They require investment. Together with the initial price of purchasing (or adopting), you will need to buy food, housing (cage, bedding, and litter), toys, and pay veterinary checks. 
  • Ferrets are not for people who are often way from home. They can become depressed if often left alone or placed in a cage for too long.  
  • Ferrets get along well with other animals. They are very playful and will blend in nicely with your other pets, make sure to supervise them for a while before they get used to one another.
  • They need proper health care. Ferrets need to be vaccinated every year against canine distemper (a viral infectious disease that is 100% fatal) and inspected by a veterinarian at least once a year.
  • Do proper research before purchasing one. When buying from pet stores, always read reviews of other people on Google and Yelp and ask sellers about the health guarantees they offer for their animals.
  • Don’t shop – adopt. In case you decided to get a ferret, consider adopting instead of buying from a pet store. Shelter personnel have a better insight into a ferret’s personality, can help you choose one that fits your lifestyle and expectations, and getting one from a shelter is cheaper than store ones.

Summary 

And there you have it! 4 places with ferrets for sale in Indiana (IN). As you could see, we mostly listed private breeders here and not pet shops – they will provide much more care to them than any reseller could.

Before buying the animal, make sure to call and see if the seller currently has babies available for sale, check the animal in person, and feel free to take a veterinarian with you to inspect the animal, if the seller allows it. 

Owning a ferret is illegal in several US states – check the legislation and requirements before buying one! 

Ferrets can be great pets as they are friendly, cute, and entertaining animals. Remember to provide enough housing space for the animal, a regular supply of food and water, spend some time interacting with your pet daily, and regularly clean up after it.
