Ferrets: Getting to Know Them and Caring for Them

An illustrated guide to getting to know ferrets and living with them with head and heart.

60 pages with real photos, 22 chapters and 8 stories to enjoy. Not a dry catalogue: it is warmly written and every fact comes with its source.

What you will find

• Getting to know the ferret: where it comes from, its colours and how it communicates (the "war dance", hisses, bites and the signs that something is wrong).
• Compared care advice: four chapters that set out what each veterinary source says (MSD, RSPCA, PDSA and scientific papers) and, where they disagree (diet, neutering, vaccines, space, temperature), explain the debate so you can decide with your vet.
• In-depth care: feeding a strict carnivore and what not to give, housing, play, hygiene, company, home safety, health, the senior ferret and saying goodbye.
• Law and responsibility: what Spain's Animal Welfare Act (Law 7/2023) says about ferrets, with official wording and dates (this part applies to Spain), and what to think about before adopting.
• Stories: 4 true stories with sources (such as the black-footed ferret that came back from extinction) and 8 fiction tales.

Good to know

• General information: it does not replace your vet. Every animal is different.
• Where a fact could not be confirmed, the book says "no data" and tells you what to check.
