Easy and Fun Ways to Make Your Ferrets Happy

By Ellen Tayana

More and more Americans are opting to have pets than children. Perhaps this is because keeping pets also gives you the benefits of companionship without the many hassles that raising children bring. Many people are too caught up with their career and social life to fully commit in a serious relationship, much less embark on child-rearing. Pets are a great alternative to honing your parenting skills and improve your sense of responsibility, as pets require dutiful attention and time.

One of the more fun pets available in pet shops, eager and ready to have a new home, are ferrets. If you don't have one yet, it is suggested that you find out more about them before you take one home.

Ferrets are one of the most active pets around. They are playful by nature and can become anxious enough to actually hurt themselves when they have no one around to play with for most of the day. If you're thinking of getting one, make sure that you will have enough time to shower them with attention and play time for most part of every day, or that you can have someone around to do this for you. (Also, ferrets are banned from some cities, so find out first if your city allows you to keep one.)

Once you can assure that you will have the time to take care of your ferret, you need not worry about how to make them happy. There are many ways with which you can make your ferrets happy, and information on the subject abound on the internet.

The first thing you have to do after you buy a ferret is to get him a huge cage. Ferrets really like to move around a lot; a large space that doubles as a play area can help curb his boredom. Consequently, you'll need to provide with a lot of toys that he can play with. Most toys for ferrets include all sorts of knick-knacks, such as balls, stuffed animals, socks, towels, hammocks, and even squeaky objects. Ferrets also like to go through tunnels and run in mazes. You can readily find these in online pet shops and on eBay.

Browsing through different websites that are information on ferrets can also lead you to articles written by real ferret owners that give away more detailed instructions on how to make your ferrets happy. For example, one ferret owner listed steps that you have to perform in order to do a certain dance which, he claims, never fails to get a dook - the laughing sound that ferrets make - out of his ferret. Another gave advice on the many things you can do with the toys, like dropping the socks on your ferret or making tunnels out of the towels.

It is important that your ferret gets time out of the cage. You can take your pet on walks (you can use a leash) to help him develop his bones properly and to expose him to fresh air and natural light. Some ferrets like water; if yours does, you can take him swimming for additional exercise.

If you own a cat or a dog, they can serve as playmates for your ferret. Ferrets usually get along with these other domestic creatures. You also have the option to buy another ferret (and another one and another one) and they can keep each other company.

Why Wild Animals Do Not Make Good Pets

By Joseph Devine

Have you ever caught an animal in the wild? Save it from utter destruction only to find out that it's a baby? Many people, especially animal lovers, get drawn in by the inherent cuteness of an animal and decide that it would be a good idea to take it home, care for it, and turn it into a pet. No. It is often forgotten that these animals are born wild. Wild animals have certain predispositions for specific behaviors, special needs that may not be accessible through conventional means, and an inherent fear of human beings. Over time, these attributes can become quite dangerous.

Bringing wild animals into the home is against the law in many different states. Various different species are protected by both state and federal law. Statutes have been passed primarily to protect the animals from inadequate care and unnecessary death. There are several things that cause these deaths, and they are also very compelling reasons why wild animals do not make good pets. Here are just a few:

1. Ignorance of Proper Care

Believe it or not, many wild animals held in captivity die, due to the fact that their caregivers do not know how to give proper car. Many of the wild animals held in captivity have special needs that are not the same as domesticated animals. Eventually, these animals develop a deficiency in their diet, causing them to become ill.

2. Lack of Proper Socialization

Wild animals require an ability to associate with their own kind. Through this process the animal is able to develop the skill sets necessary to survive on his or her own out in the wild. If the animal has not learned these skills, it must either stay in captivity or die. This is especially unfortunate for animal that are much larger than usual or more aggressive that what humans are used to.

3. Lack of Fear of Human Beings

Wild animals are generally scared of human beings, especially if they have never encountered them before. This fear generally keeps them safe from hostile humans, and other unintentional harms.

No matter how cute the animal might be, keeping a wild animal is not a good idea, not only for your health, but also for the health of the animal. The best thing to do when you encounter a wild animal is the report the sighting to the proper authorities, who have the experience and knowledge to deal with the situation appropriately.
