With several hours of running around a day and a large cage with lots of options for activity, you can offer your ferrets everything they need for a species appropriate and varied life. They want to play, run, cuddle, climb and romp – which they cannot do in a confined space. However, in order for the animals to feel completely comfortable, you should not cut corners when it comes to the right accessories. Because the small martens not only have high needs in terms of their freedom of movement, but also in terms of daily hygiene and food.

Fresh water and a complete feed keep the animals fit and vital. This makes stable feeding bowls and water drinking troughs an indispensable accessory for ferrets. To prevent the bowls from tipping over and all the food being distributed in the cage, you should use stable clay or ceramic containers. You should position them in a part of the cage that is not used for active play and where there are fewer activities. Unlike hamsters or mice, however, ferrets do not require a layer of bedding.

Outside of their active phases, ferrets spend a lot of time sleeping. Since the animals should be kept in pairs at least, they need several sleeping places, so each one has its own place of retreat. Cat toilets are also part of the right accessories for ferrets, because the animals are both clean and intelligent. And male martens in particular have a strong odour. In addition, they like to defecate in the same place, which is the best prerequisite for house training them.

In addition to the basic equipment, ferrets require plenty of different activities to satisfy their urge to move. Hammocks, caves, tunnels and pipes are therefore the ideal ferret accessories for active animals. This also applies to animals that are kept outside. They should also be offered a lot of variety in the outdoor enclosure, otherwise they quickly get into mischief and create their own activities.

Ferrets are playful, cuddly and intelligent animals that can give their owners a lot of joy. However, the right ferret accessories are decisive, so that the animals also feel happy and contented. In the Maxi Zoo online shop, a large selection of products is on offer to ensure the species-appropriate care of the animals. Find the right ferret accessories there at the highest quality.
