How To Choose A Name For Your Ferret
Ferrets have very different personalities… but all of them are very curious, playful, and full of energy! So you will want your ferret’s name to reflect his or her personality. Is he fast and cheeky? Is she noisy and cute? Observe them in their new environment and you will probably have a better idea for a name after a couple of days.
Another way of finding a great name for your furry friend is from their colors and patterns. Ferret fur is incredibly diverse in shades and patterns, from nose to tail! Is your ferret spotty, silk or has adorable little black paws? Why not reflect this in your ferret name?
What Is A Good Name For A Ferret?
Pick a name that will fit either your ferret’s personality or maybe a distinctive physical trait, such as mitts or a sable color. Ferrets can live up to 10 years so choose wisely, you will be calling your little critter by his or her chosen name for quite some time!
Do Ferrets Recognize Their Names?
Ferrets do recognize their name, though not as much as dogs do. It’s advised to choose a short name for your ferret – two or three syllables maximum – as it will be easier for him or her to know that you’re speaking to them!
