Fuzzies Can Be Messy

I’ve learned from experience (the hard way) that ferrets can make a terrible mess in their cage, especially with food and water, which they enjoy playing with. My advice to you (if you’re planning to get one of these fuzzy animals) is to use heavy ceramic bowls that can’t be tipped over, or to purchase containers that attach to the side of the cage (like the ones in the photo below). Make sure to keep the water and food bowls/containers close together; ferrets enjoy drinking water while they eat.
