Ferret buying questions
How much do ferrets cost in the UK?+
Ferrets typically cost £50–£150 each, and should be bought in pairs. Vaccination, neutering and a large enclosure add to the setup cost.
Do ferrets smell?+
Ferrets have a natural musky scent. Regular bedding changes and a clean litter tray keep it manageable; over-bathing actually makes the smell worse.
Are ferrets good pets for children?+
Ferrets suit older, supervised children. They are boisterous, quick and can nip during play, so they are not a good match for toddlers.
