If you are considering purchasing a Champagne ferret, make sure you talk to your vet and local pet store associates about basic health and dietary needs first. You should also schedule your Champagne ferret for a first time visit with your vet. Like other household pets, ferrets require routine vaccinations and wellness exams to ensure their overall health. In general, Champagne ferrets require a distemper vaccination as well as a rabies vaccination. Most vets recommend giving your ferret a temporary distemper shot at six weeks of age. Your vet will then set up a vaccine schedule for your ferret that may include a series of distemper shots at 9, 12, and 16 weeks for the first year and then once a year after that. The rabies vaccines will most likely be given at 13-16 weeks of age and then once a year after that. Talk to your vet Minnetonka, MN for more details.
