Pets – Ferrets
Ferrets spend 14–18 hours a day asleep and are most active around the hours of dawn and dusk. If they are caged, they should be taken out daily to exercise and satisfy their curiosity; they need at least an hour and a place to play. Unlike their polecat ancestors, which are solitary animals, most ferrets will live happily in social groups. They are territorial, like to burrow, and prefer to sleep in an enclosed area.
