Before buying a ferret, you should ask yourself some questions. Do you want a male or female? Should you get more than one so the ferret doesn't get lonely? Do you want a baby or an adult ferret? Is there a reputable dealer in the area? These are just some questions you should ask yourself.
A lot of decisions boil down to personal preference. There is not much difference in a male or female ferret. The behaviors are pretty much the same, although each ferret has its own unique personality. One difference that should be noted is that a male ferret will grow to be about double the size of a female ferret.
Female ferret must be spayed and descented unless you plan on breeding. They can quickly develop a serious disease called aplastic anemia, which they could easily die from. You should consider the cost of neutering if they aren't already. If buying from a reputable breeder or pet shop, make sure they are properly neutered before your purchase.
