TIC TAC IS CURRENTLY RESERVED.

Tic Tac is a beautiful albino female ferret. She arrived in our care after being found straying and we have been unable to reunite her with her owner.

Ferrets make wonderful pets and companions. With the right feeding regime, accommodation and care, they can live between six to twelve years. The oldest known ferret lived to the ripe old age of thirteen. Therefore, having a ferret is a long-term commitment.

With the right handling, ferrets are a bundle of fun and will play with squeaky toys, chase balls and generally have fun racing around. Their favourite toys are simple carrier bags and the more it crackles the better! Cardboard tubes are also lots of fun for them. Rugs and mats are also good toys as ferrets love to tunnel under them and play.

If you decide to have more than one ferret you will soon find out that they spend most of their waking hours play fighting, dancing, and chasing each other round.

When holding and handling your ferret it is important to make your ferret feel comfortable and secure. By habit, they are exceptionally clean animals and will only use one corner or place to go to the toilet.

Nice, warm sleeping quarters for ferrets come in all shapes and sizes, from hammocks to baskets with soft fleecy blankets, to ferret sized nesting boxes and fleecy sleeping bags or pouches. An old fleece jacket is just as good. Generally, they all curl up together and it is not unusual to see one hammock piled up with little furry bodies, noses poking out and paws all over the place! In fact it is sometimes difficult to see where one ferret begins and another one ends!

If you can offer Tic Tac a new forever home please quote ref 94370.
