* The camera must be suitable for photographing such small
  animals. With some, you can't get close enough to fill the
  frame and still focus. I prefer 90-105 mm lenses, that way
  you don't have to come very close to them.
 
* Ferrets are fast, so:
  - You need to be fast, practice with the camera a lot
  - The camera must be quick acting too. If it starts to
    focus after you've pressed the button you'll have a
    hard time catching the moment. I use manual focus and
    press the button when they will be in the right place.
 
* Expect lots of wasted film in the beginning.
  Take notes so you know what you did right when the photos
  comes out well and what you did wrong when they don't.
 
* Try to get level with them.
