Pet ferrets are divided into two types: Anglo and Marcel, both belong to carnivores and mustelidae, with slender bodies and similar body shapes to domestic cats. The domestication of modern pet ferrets began more than 200 years ago, but as early as 200 years ago. As early as 3000 BC, there were minks raised by households in Egypt, so are pet minks easy to keep? Let’s take a look.
Are pet minks good to keep?
Marcelle’s ferrets are known all over the world for their docile, friendly, and stable personality. Every ferret that appears is just as cute and lively, not aggressive, and loves to be close to people. Such a stable and good temperament cannot be formed in three to five years.
Marcel’s ferrets were quarantined and supervised by the USDA before they left the United States. After arriving in China, they were quarantined and quarantined by the Chinese quarantine department again. During the period, various inspections were carried out to ensure the health of the ferrets. The dual quarantine between China and the United States has given the most authoritative guarantee for the health of the Marcher ferret. This is unmatched by any non-imported pet. All Marcher ferrets are imported from the United States, so they are slightly more expensive than Anglo.

The most characteristic character of Angora is that he is curious and cheerful, and likes to play with people. Due to her endless curiosity and adventurous spirit, she can’t rest for a moment, and she often climbs behind or under furniture to explore new things, gathers whatever she likes and hides in hidden places, and builds herself up She likes to be coquettish, playful and clever, and she is easy to get close to people, and she often wants to play with her. In particular, she likes to go in and out with people, so you can put her on a sling or put her in a cage like a dog, and then take her out for a walk.
Angora are social animals. Although they like to be close to people, they prefer to play with their companions. As long as there is enough space, it is not a big problem to raise multiple ferrets together. If you leave the mink alone for a long time without feeling lonely, or reduce her activities and cause her lack of exercise, it will make her feel stressed and become obese or even sick, so don’t keep the mink in the cage all the time, and let the mink come out to play frequently. . Because of their lively and active personality, there are also various ferret-specific toys on the market, which can help them relieve their boredom.

Prepare a metal cage large enough for your pet mink. There should be hammocks, drinking fountains, food trays, and places to sleep. Pet mink likes to climb and explore, so a multi-layer cage is more suitable for your mink. A hammock should be prepared in the cage for the pet mink to rest. In addition, pet minks need enough activity, so you can put your pet mink in a cage when you sleep or go out,
At other times, the pet mink should be allowed to move outside the cage as much as possible.
Pet minks need a large space for movement, especially they like to drill holes, so be careful not to use wood materials in the place where they are raised, otherwise it is easy to escape. If you are letting them roam freely in their home, be careful they can damage cabinets or dividers, and also avoid chewing on electrical wiring or painted furniture, which could poison or create a home hazard. When breeding, consider setting up some high and low tunnels where they live, placing wooden huts suitable for rest, and placing some clean straws as mattresses.
