The detail
Sable is the most common ferret color: dark brown guard hairs over a cream undercoat, with a dark mask, legs and tail. Color does not change care, so an owner is choosing a ferret, with all the time and vet care that means.
- Housing
- Large cage, hours out daily
What to weigh
Ferrets need hours out of the cage each day, a ferret-proofed room, and vet care for common diseases of middle age. They have a musky smell even when descented.
