What are some fun things for a 13 year old girl to do if she is bored (like me)?
Do what xxxxLadyVampirexxxx suggested ALL AT THE SAME TIME! IT WOULD BE A CHALLENGE! and it would be a big help yoou won't be bored anymore, trust me/.
You'll need to clean the cage (fully wash everything and change litter and bedding) about every 2 weeksHowever, every day you're going to want to check up on food and water and scoop out any poop from the litter box and replace with fresh litter as needed, because the cage will quickly become very smelly if you don'tI use clorox cleaning wipes to clean the shelves and stuff every day, just to help eliminate odorsAlso for odors, I suggest Febreze Air Effects, it works quite nicelyAnd when it comes to bedding, I would recommend Carefresh instead of pine, it doesn't make as much of a mess and works better for odors(It's made out of leftovers from the paper industry so it's more earth-consciousIt also doesn't have any dyes or chemical contaminants) For litter, I only use Good Mews, it's also made out of recycled paper and it's fully compostableFerrets don't seem to respond very well to normal cat litter, so keep in mind that once you start using one type of litter, they won't be likely to want to use something elseYou just have to make sure they have food available at all timesThat's true, they only eat what they needThere are many different types of ferret food, but it's suggested that it has at least 40% proteinNo, ferrets will eat cat food, but it's not as good for them(When I bought my ferret, the pet store owner told me that if you feed them cat food it messes with their liver and makes them not live as long, but I'm not sure if that's actually true.) I realize that cat food is cheaper, but the ferret would just be better off eating something made for itFerrets aren't that expensive to maintainYou just need to be able to pay for food, litter, bedding, and any cleaning supplies you will need to keep up the cageIf you get your ferret from Marshall farms, (most ferrets come from this place), they already come with immunizationsYou could get them more shots at the vet but it's not really necessaryThey also come neutered/spayed and with their scent gland removed.
