Ferrets for Dummies

Excellent ferret care guide for a first time fuzzy owner. My only gripes with it were that the author seemed to contradict herself a couple of times and her advice on raw feeding was a little iffy in a few areas. Boiling raw bones before feeding them is pointless and feeding cooked chicken and turkey bones is pretty dangerous. Cooked bones are brittle and prone to splintering while raw bones are soft and much safer to feed.

I had grabbed this book when I got my first ferret, and it had helped me immensely. I honestly had no prior knowledge of the critters before hand, so I read it cover to cover. Learned about their diet and what to look for ingredient wise when choosing their food, best type of bedding, cages, toys to play with, hygiene, health care.. Very highly recommend getting this book if you are considering getting a ferret.
