1. We ferrets need our owner's to see to our welfare in everything. Our resources are restricted since we don't talk/type or drive. 2. We need a well balanced food so we can retain good health and appearance. 3. We need playtime to work off energy, work up an appetite. Remember, we also need supervision, since we get into everything we can. 4. A ferrets hygiene is also important to us. Nails/ears/shots and hair grooming, especially when we shed. 5. Once in awhile, we need a bath. Guess you owner's don't appreciate how we bathe in our drinking water. Never owned shampoo's. 6. We need medical assistance when we are sick. A good vet is a must. We appreciate all the time you give in our medical care. 7. Sorry when we poof, but sometimes it's gas or you scared us. We are known to mark spots with odors. 8. We have the right to hide your personal things. We are sneaky and cute and love the smile on our owner's face. 9. We have a right to treats when we are good and listen or use our litter box. 10. We have the right to kiss our owner to thank them for their endless time in our care and well being. Your all very Special People to us ferrets.
