Ferrets are extremely playful, active, curious and good-natured animals that enjoy the company of humans and other animals. For these reasons, they make wonderful pets, but also require a fair amount of attention.
Ferrets love to run around free in the home, and can be taught to use a litter box like a cat, though you may need to place a litter box in the corner of every room or areas where the ferret spends a great deal of time.
Ferrets are generally quiet. The only vocalizations they make are chuckles and giggles during play, squeals or screams when threatened and sometimes cries when in pain.
