Introducing and basic supply list

Question
Hello, I am getting a few ferrets later this year I am wondering thou can I get one at a time? I'd be getting them no more then a month or two apart would this work? they'd all be from a pet-store they'd all be between 8 & 12 weeks of age, also I've put together a basic supply list please tell me if I am missing anything...

Quality kitten food,

Cat/ferret/homemade toys,

hammocks,

Food dish/water bottle,

litter pan or two,


Shampoo, nail clippers, q-tips & septic powder, is this ok? are there any extras I should get?

Thank you for your help.

Answer
Hello, Thank you for your question. That should be just fine to get them a couple months apart. The only time people seem to have trouble is with an established ferret over a year or so old. They are a lot like cats, and kittens tend to be thrilled to have another kitten to play with.
Your list looks good, but you will need a nice two story cage. I recommend one with full middle floor, not the "shelf" type floors.
I would also suggest getting a good book called
"Ferrets for Dummies" by Kim Shilling.
Good luck with your new fuzzies!
