I am owned by one ferret name Kirby. I take him outside twice a day.
(weather permitted). He goes outside before I go to work for 1/2 hour.
After dinner we take a walk around the neighborhood. As far as meeting
new people or kids. He loves them - no problems. Kirby is very friendly
and enjoys attention. I have the neighborhood kids knocking at my door
asking for Kirby to come out and play. I am always getting stop by people
in there yards or in there vehicles while we are out for a walk. Asking
me tons of questions about Kirby. Kirby walks great on leash than some of
dogs that I see walking in my neighborhood. I use a H harness on him. I
keep Kirby very close to my side while we are outside for walk. Just in
case there are any dogs around or any hawks in the area. Last year, I
travel to Massachusetts for a horse show. I took Kirby with me. I have
a front carrier that I use, when I was walking around the horse show. He
is also on heartworm medicine and advantage. Just remember when taking a
ferret outside that they don't tolerate hot weather.
Have a nice weekend
