But i agree strongly with Nick_bp and thank him for saying it, no one should have a pet and not be able to give it every bit of care, medical or otherwise, that it needs to live a long and full life of happiness.
    Feed a natural raw or whole prey diet and you won't have a ton of vet visits for your ferrets.

    If you feed them kibble or fruits and vegetables and anything else that ferrets can't digest properly then you will probably expect plenty of vet visits, especially later in life.
