Your ferret does not need to go outside to live a happy and fulfilled life. As long as you are interacting with her regularly, playing with her and keeping her engaged she should be very happy. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Best of luck.

You should only be able to fit 2 fingers underneath. You should be able to find a harness in her size. If you are going to leave it on all the time I typically then recommend a breakaway collar. That way if she gets it caught on something it automatically breaks. If it is just to go outside with you then a harness is a great idea, just make sure you remove it when you are done. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Thanks for reaching out. Marshal Farms, Totally Ferret of 8 in 1 brand probably have the best reputation and experience. But others could be fine also, read the ingredient label. Ferrets are very finicky eaters so might have to perform trial and error.

It is OK but it is not the best. I prefer Zupreem or Marshalls and they are about the same price for the same weight bag of food. It is better to spend money on higher quality food and less money on treats and toys and other accessories.

This sign could be compatible with an upper respiratory tract inflammation/infection or possibly to a gengivostomatitis (inflammatory, allergic, infective). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed.
