Make sure they’re always wearing it tied
Unfortunately, it is not an animal that can go free on the street because it is elusive and very active. For this reason, you must carry your pet ferret on a leash and a harness, to always have them under your supervision. It is much better to opt for the harness than the leash because the animal will be more comfortable under the circumstances and because it adapts better to its body. Since it has, for example, a very small head and neck.
Beware of their curiosity
It’s great to see it so active looking for adventure, but it’s a sociable species that could get in trouble with other species. That is why it is also better to keep the pet ferret under control with the leash and harness. It should not have collisions with other species but you should control all the animals around it as prevention. Since they do not usually cross with ferrets and you do not know how they will react.
Watch what your pet ferret puts in their mouth
You must be very responsible also controlling what the ferret can put in its mouth. Their curiosity makes them prone to choose foods that are not suitable or recommended for them. There are muzzles on the market, but it may seem excessive to use one. So if you don’t, you have to be very aware of these types of dangers.
Give them water to beat the heat
The ferret is an animal prone to heatstroke, so you should avoid the hours of maximum temperatures of the day and always carry water for the animal.

Pick your pet ferret up in the face of danger
The greatest danger may be an upset animal in your presence, but also any other circumstance that makes you nervous. If you think they’re in some kind of danger, it is not enough to keep them on the leash. The best prevention is to pick them up.
Take them with a locator
If you are one of those who often take your ferret outside there is an interesting possibility: place a locator microchip. If they escape or disappear in a mistake of yours, you can have control of the place where they are. In some autonomous communities, its use is mandatory, as it is already with dogs, for example.
