Ferre
ts absolutely love to explore. However, the are also great at climbing and escaping through tiny gaps so letting them run around loose in your garden is not a good idea. However, a harness and lead allows your ferret to explore, sniff and dig around your garden without being able to run off. Beware though, walking a ferret is not like walking a dog! They will go where they want to go, not where you want to go! The elasticated leads are particularly good so that they can have as much freedom as possible whilst still having the safety of the lead. Make sure that the harness fits your ferret well and is secure enough that they can't get out of it. Get them used to the harness a few times first before introducing the lead and then try out the lead in a secure area (such as around the house) to make sure that your ferret can't squeeze out of the harness or get it undone. Once your ferret is used to it, they will love going out for walks and it is a great way to give them exercise and stimulation. You can then make it even more fun by hiding treats around the garden for your ferret to find, or put things around for them to climb on or into. Recycling boxes are great or big plant pots full of dirt for them to dig in.
