Answer #1

Prices for ferrets vary widely from place to place, and depending on where you get the ferret [4.4]. Prices for stores and breeders are usually in the US $75-$250 range, typically around $100. Plan on another $100-$250 for a cage [5.4] and supplies [5.3], plus around $75 for the first batch of vaccinations [9.2].

Of course, there are also regular costs of caring for the ferret. They don’t eat much, so food and litter aren’t a huge expense, but there are also treats [6.3] and hairball remedies, plus the annual checkups [9.4] and vaccinations [9.2]. In addition, though it might not happen, you should be prepared to pay for at least one $300 vet visit in each ferret’s 6- to 10-year lifetime, from his getting sick, being in an accident, or eating something he shouldn’t [11.1].

Answer #2

Google it. Make sure you do your research well. No animal should be adopted before the owner completely understands the responsibilities they are taken on. Caring for an animal can be completely rewarding and totally worth it, just make sure you are able to care for your pet completely. Good luck!

get a male ferret, if you have a female and she doesnt mate with a male ferret she will die
