Ferret Nation Cage

It should go without saying that a cage is probably the most important, and most expensive purchase for your ferrets.

As far as ferret cages go, ferret nation cages are among the best. While a little bit more expensive than the average ferret cage, these cages are built from quality materials to last for your ferret. These cages are large, giving your new ferret plenty of room to roam while you are away. The bars on the cage are narrow enough that your ferret will not be inadvertently injured slipping and getting stuck. Additionally, these cages are highly customizable with different accessories for you and your ferret needs.

Ferret Nation Accessories Pack 

One of the most important ferret supplies is accessories for their cage. A ferret needs to stay caged while they are not supervised, as they can quickly get into spaces that they aren’t supposed to. Additionally, ferrets sleep between 16 and 18 hours per day, so it is important to ensure that where they sleep is comfortable and secure.

The Accessories Kit 3 will fit both Ferret Nation and Critter Nation cages and contains one cozy cube, one blanket, one tunnel, and one hanging hammock. Given your furry friend may spend a decent amount of time in their cage, your ferret needs plenty of room to stretch out, sleep, and keep themselves entertained.

Ferret Travel Cage

As any ferret owner knows, ferrets can be particularly stubborn and obstinate pets, and even traveling a short distance can be difficult if your ferret is being difficult. Having the right carrier, such as the IRIS Deluxe Pet Travel Carrier, can make a world of difference.

Pros: Most travel cages that are built for ferrets are a soft bodied fabric option, and many people buy them thinking of their ferrets comfort. Unfortunately, many of those comfortable options that seem luxe at the time of purchase actually don’t hold up when a determined ferret decides to chew or scratch their way up. The IRIS deluxe pet travel carrier is ideal for ferrets for a couple of different reasons. As a hard body cage, it is durable and ferrets will not be able to escape. Additionally, if used for a ferret, it is sufficiently roomy for your ferret, and can be used to transport multiple ferrets at a time. It also comes in with a clip in food bowl for those longer car rides, and if necessary, does meet most airline requirements for animal transportation, though it is not advised to fly with your ferret unless it is unavoidable.

Ferret Food – Wysong Epigen

Wysong Epigen 90 for ferrets is one of the many varieties made by this famous brand. Wysong has been a trusted brand for cats and dogs for years, and is a fantastic brand to keep your ferret healthy and happy.

Pros: Wysong Epigen has one of the highest crude proteins on the market at 62% protein, and also has an adequate amount of fat (20%). Wysong Epigen also ensures that ferrets are getting needed antioxidants and probiotics in their kibble, helping to keep their immune system strong.

Ferret Litter Pan 

Ferrets are incredibly intelligent creatures, and can easily be trained to use a litter box, though they may never be as accurate about using a litter box as a cat would be. With a little bit of encouragement and the right ferret supplies, you can easily litter box train your ferret, and you can read about our suggestions on how to litter box train here.

There are a couple of different options for ferrets, but Marshall’s brand high back litter box is one of the best. Many owners recognize that their ferret needs to back into a corner to relieve themselves, and this tray leaves your ferret enough room to back into their corner of choice, and the high back ensures that litter and waste stay in the litter box where they belong.

Ferret Litter

Whether or not you specifically litter box train your ferret, litter is one of the ferret supplies you will need to invest in. Ferrets have delicate respiratory systems and can be negatively impacted by dusty litters, so it is important to buy the correct litter for your ferret’s needs. Ferrets should not use clay or clumping litters designed for cat use. Utilize a recycled paper pellet litter, such as Yesterday’s News, as these are plenty absorbent, clean up easy, and are safe for your ferret.

Ferret Cage Drink Bottle

There are many different water bottles available for ferrets, but ferrets can be very particular creatures. If they do not like their water bottle, they are at a higher risk of becoming dehydrated. Don’t just use the water bottle that came with your ferret’s cage if your ferret doesn’t like it.

Instead, invest in a glass or BPA-free plastic water bottle, such as the Choco Nose No Drip Water Bottle. This water bottle is BPA free and will help to keep your ferret’s cage clean, as it won’t shrink and leak. The bracket system will also attach to any cage and is secure enough that your ferret will not be able to dislodge it.
