That list, from STAR*Ferrets, also appears at Ferret Central.  I
update it whenever the new list comes through on the FML.  It's at

>How often should I clean her ears?
 
I clean our ferrets' ears when they seem dirty, which is only a few
times a year.  No excess wax, no scratching, no mites, no problems.
 
>I want to try to fert-proof *my* room so she can come in and explore.
>But I have lots of electrical cords.
 
Our ferret room is also the computer room and the stereo/TV/VCR room.  We've
never had a ferret (among two of our own and five assorted foster ferrets)
who did more than sniff at the wires once or twice.  Oh, wait -- they do
knock the phone cord out of the wall with a particularly exuberant wardance
now and again.

It's very difficult.  You're better off putting down plastic carpet runner
to protect the carpet.
