How to buy a ferret online

buy a ferret

There are all kinds of things you can buy online. However, did you know that you can buy a ferret on the web?

Websites that sell ferrets can be easily found by typing a few keywords into any search engine. Browse the results and choose a site that appeals to you.

You’ll never find a ferret on an auction site, but you’ll be able to bid on items like cages, toys, hammocks, and more.

You should be able to browse through photos, on most sites, of ferrets that they have available for sale. You may even be able to pay for your ferret at some of the sites and then get instructions on how to pick it up or have it delivered directly to you. You should be able to choose your ferret’s age, sex, and color from the available sites.

ferret prices

Just because you’re looking for your ferret online, don’t expect to get bargain prices. Prices will most likely be pretty similar to what you’ll find at a local breeder or pet store. The average price of a ferret typically ranges from $75 to $150. Keep in mind that you will need accessories after you purchase a ferret. At a minimum you will need to buy a cage and some accessories such as toys, hammocks, sandbox, etc. It’s best to budget an extra $100 to $250 over the purchase price of your ferret.

Many breeders who advertise online can also be great resources for useful information. Forums are another valuable resource for information on buying and raising ferrets.

adopt a ferret

If this is your first ferret, be sure to do your research before adopting one. You will need to know the basics of proper ferret care. One really important thing to check first is whether or not keeping a ferret as a pet is legal in your area. Ferrets are currently illegal in the state of California and Hawaii. Areas where they are legal may require you to have a permit. Be sure to check with local and state/provincial authorities to familiarize yourself with any laws or regulations. Always do this before adopting a ferret. You don’t want to face your pet being confiscated and destroyed. You may even have to pay a hefty fine. If you can’t figure out which agencies to contact, a call to a local veterinarian might point you in the right direction.

Buying a ferret online is pretty much the same process as buying any other item on the web. Be careful, you want to make sure the person you are dealing with is genuine. Do a background check, check them out on forums, check with the better business bureau, and even check with other breeders.

If you are going to pick up the ferret yourself, check it carefully. Examine their eyes, behavior and fur at the very least. Only pay for it and take it home if you’re sure it’s healthy.

Buying a ferret online is just one option. Another option would be to visit an animal shelter. Unfortunately, you will find many ferrets in animal shelters looking for a loving home.

If you’re ready for the commitment of having a pet ferret, go ahead and get one because they will thrive in a loving environment.
