  • Access to safe hiding places so they can avoid things that scare them.
  • Safe toys to play with. E.g. Squeaky toys, balls, somewhere to dig and opportunities to play hide and seek. Change play and toys frequently.
  • Fun food toys to make finding food a challenge.
  • Safe exercise area and activities so they don't get bored or become aggressive.

Black-footed ferrets mostly eat prairie dog which is why living in their holes is a great place for them. They are nocturnal, and leave their burrows at night to hunt they are also known to eat ground squirrels, small rodents, rabbits and bird. They are solitary creatures except during breeding season where they would go out to find a mate. black-footed ferrets have 3-4 kits average which can range from 1-7 kits. u10424064 https://padlet.com/daviesclareece/p80jl3czzozf/wish/293372899 Prairie dog ]]> 2018-10-16 14:36:21 UTC https://padlet.com/daviesclareece/p80jl3czzozf/wish/293372899 behaviour daviesclareece https://padlet.com/daviesclareece/p80jl3czzozf/wish/293376341 Ferrets are curious - play and exploratory behaviours are essential behaviours for them.
    The way ferrets behave depends on their age, personality and past experiences.
    Frightened or stressed ferrets may change their behaviour or develop unwanted habits e.g. fleeing/hiding/screaming/hissing/biting.
    Signs of discomfort or pain may include reluctance to move, weight loss, anorexia, trembling, collapse, crying, whimpering, and teeth grinding.]]>     2018-10-16 14:40:54 UTC https://padlet.com/daviesclareece/p80jl3czzozf/wish/293376341     Population of ferrets had decreases because of a exotic disease and wide spread destruction of their habitat in the 1900 drove them to the blink of extinction although they are slowly coming back u10424064 https://padlet.com/daviesclareece/p80jl3czzozf/wish/293385076 2018-10-16 14:53:06 UTC https://padlet.com/daviesclareece/p80jl3czzozf/wish/293385076 More useful information: daviesclareece https://padlet.com/daviesclareece/p80jl3czzozf/wish/293391688
  • To be kept away from prey species. They are predators - predation comes naturally to them.
  • Never shout at or punish them, they are very unlikely to understand and can become more nervous or scared.
  • To stay with their mother until at least 8 weeks of age – to learn how to behave in a group, e.g. how to communicate. Scent is important for communication (e.g. secretions, urine and faeces to mark territory.) Ferrets also communicate by using sounds and body language.
  • Careful observation – changes in behaviour or showing regular signs of stress/fear could indicate distress, boredom, illness or injury.
