I don't free roam my ferrets, but they come out for a couple of hours every day. And they have a huge cage. They have all sorts of toys to play with, the dryer vent tube is a favorite, as are paper bags, and pretty much anything on the floor. I do recommend getting them in pairs for company. They are like twins with their own ferret speak and ferret games, lol.
My cat blinded my ferret in one eye, so they don't play together. Forrest is also deaf and doesn't really respond to social cues from other animals. She has no fear and just went up to the cat. We always keep them separated, but the ferret had gotten into my bedroom and went up to the cat. The cat just smacked her on the head and the claw happened to lacerate the eye just right. So Forrest is my deaf, bald, skinny ferret who is blind in one eye. :/ But she is my super sweetie who always give my little ferret kisses and runs everywhere at full speed (Run Forrest Run lol).
I don't feed a raw diet, mostly because both of mine are so darn picky. But I do feed them the highest quality grain free diet I can find for them: Zupreem, Evo, Wysong raw cold-pressed. And I'm going to start cookie on yearly Lupron injections to try and keep the adrenal issues at bay. I also keep them where I can regulate their light cycles a bit and they can stay darker.
