Ferrets must be confined within the home and when their

activities cannot be adequately supervised.  Most ferrets prefer

to sleep within a relatively small, enclosed area.  A cat- or

rabbit-sized wire cage or a suitably sized dog/cat airline

carrier works very well.  Wood shavings or a few towels can be

used on the bottom of the enclosure.  Ferrets are especially fond

of tunneling under towels and prefer to sleep in this manner.
