Must say...ferrets aren't a particular favourite animal of mine, but I know people who keep them, and they can make good pets. They're also clean, and usually only use one designated area as a "toilet". You can google about their upkeep far quicker than I can get facts for you, but i know one or two old-fashioned remedies for if they get poorly, so don't hesitate to ask again. Btw - handle the babies, if mum'll let you, because if ferrets don't get used to humans, their bites can be very nasty, and you can't get them off you easily. Glad they've found a good home anyway. x
