Ferret

Ferrets can be great fun playful pets.  But they must be in a cage when unattended, because they can get into walls, under sofas, into mattresses... and they hide, steal, then hoard...
DIET:  Ferrets are strict carnivores.  Meaning they need high protein FERRET FOOD.  Just a dry diet that can be purchased at any pet store (Southern Agriculture, PetCo, PetSmart, sometimes even Walmart).  They do not eat any vegetation just meat proteins.
HABITAT:  Ferrets like to climb, so a multi level cage is ideal.  You can get at most pet stores, approx 2'deep x 3'wide x 4-5' tall with removeable/cleanable plastic levels.
They generally DO litter box train, but it must be cleaned daily, or they will go elsewhere.
PLAY:  How much time a day do you have to play with your pet?  Ferrets are very social, and love to play, putting on quite a show bouncing around.  Do not get any pet, unless you have the TIME to spend with it every day.  
​ADOPTION FEE is $50 without cage

chinchilla

Chinchillas have the softest, most dense fur of any pet.  Can be fun to hold and play with.
DIET:  Chinchillas are herbivores (vegetarians) with an easily purchased diet of CHINCHILLA food/pellet (like rabbit food), plus supplement with Timothy Hay for their grazing needs.
Diets can be purchased at most Pet Stores, Southern Agriculture, PetCo, PetSmart...
HABITAT:  3x3', double level preferred.  Need room for food bowl, water bottle/bowl, hay bin, and then Dish for DUST BATH.  Look for a cage with a wire mesh floor, so droppings can fall thru, and they aren't standing in their urine/fecal matter.  Not good for skin.
Must clean and change bedding regularly.
​Aspen bedding is a good source, not cedar bedding.
BATHING:  Must have a special DUST BATH weekly at minimum for their dense fur and skin health.
​PLAY:   How much time a day do you have to play with your pet?   Do not get any pet, unless you have the TIME to spend with it every day.

HEDGEHOG

 Want a mini porcupine?
Adorable little creatures, but not really snuggly.
DIET:  HedgeHogs are Insectivores.  But a dry kibble diet of Hedgehog food or good quality dry meat or  chicken  based cat food is acceptable.
Or a high protein can cat or dog food.  
Plus add a SMALL amount of fruits or vegetables -you will learn what he likes and picks out.
WILD:  In the wild they will eat insects, slugs, baby mice, frogs, fish, worms, small snakes, eggs, and even fruit. 
HABITAT:  a small aquarium (20 gal), or small rodent wire cage 2x3 is sufficient.  Add a shelf or climbing area.
PLAY:  At first wrap your hedgehog with a towel or wear gloves, until they get used to you.. roll them over, talk to them, slowly pet their belly and spikes until they relax.  Their belly/underfur is so white and soft fur.  It is so cute to see them come out from being in the safety roll.
Quite adorable little guys. 
ADOPTION FEE is $50 without cage.

small Snakes

If you want to get a snake, a great "starter" snake is  a ball python, or cornsnake.  They are generally very passive, handleable, not real fast moving.
But there are a few very important things you cannot forget.... 
HEAT:  Snakes must have their habitat much warmer that humans.  Generally 80-95 degrees.
You can put a heating pad underneath (make sure you get a heating pad WITHOUT an auto shut off. Also you can put a heat bulb on TOP of the cage (not inside cage for they can burn themself).  But have a thermometer inside the cage so you can monitor that it doesnt get too hot or too cold.
Sometimes a 250w heat bulb is too much for a small aquarium, might try an 75 or 100w flood.
NEVER buy a heat rock!  They have been known for not regulating their heat well and burning the animal.  A heating pad underneath is perfect.
HUMIDITY:  Water in cage, or moist bedding can increase humidity, or just bathe/soak your snake weekly in warm water keeps them moist.
WATER dish in cage must be large enough that your snake can lay in to soak, not just for drinking.
DIET: Eat mice, we feed live (stunned), but you can buy frozen, you just have to make sure that it is properly thawed to the core. A cold feeder can give your snake pneumonia.
Also you might invest in a long pair of tongs or hemostats to make it easy to present the prey without getting bit. 
FEEDING TIME:  Most common is feeding every other week.  But the safest way is to have a clean plastic tote that you put the snake in to feed. Reasons; 1) If they are a messy eater, it is easy to clean 2) There's no chance of them accidentally eating their bedding (which can choke or create blockage). 3) Helps to prevent them from striking directly from the cage, thinking it is feeding time.
NOTE:  At feeding or handling time, wash your hands before and after.  Before, because you might have dog, or mammal smell on your hands, which could confuse the snake, also removes fragrances, chemicals... which could harm the snake.  After because you could have germs, fecal matter, urine, or rodent smells from feeding.
HABITAT:  These snakes stay small, and generally coil up in a corner, or in a  hide. So a 20 gal aquarium is sufficient.  With a locking lid, of course.  A "hide" is just an area that they can go into to get out of light, or hide from sight.  There are many different  kinds.  All can be purchased at your pet store.  Of course, you can see what works for us here at the park.
HANDLING: We recommend that you always cover their head and pat the back of the snake before grabbing them to pull out.   So that they know it is handling time, not feeding time.  Once out, there is generally no problem with biting.
Adoption fee is $50 without cage.
