Cute and friendly ferrets immediately become favorites of both adults and children. The decision on what to name a “new family member” must be approached responsibly. When coming up with names for ferrets, it is better not to take the first one you come across, but to be guided by certain rules. It is believed that the names of animals influence the character and even the fate of the owner.
Variety of names
Official name. Babies purchased from breeders already have a name written on their puppy card. As a rule, nicknames are given according to the letter of the litter to simplify control over it.
This name may be long and little perceived from the point of view, or rather, the hearing of the ferret. In this case, the nickname can be shortened, modified, or even better, the pet can be given a middle name for everyday use at home.
A name that a ferret himself would choose. When deciding what to name your ferret, you need to take into account the behavioral characteristics of your pet. If a ferret is interested in something, is busy exploring an object, is trying to crawl through a crack, or digs a flower out of a pot, a constant sound with a predominance of voiceless consonants will not distract the pet’s attention from its activity. For example, you can refer to the lists of names for ferrets recommended on many sites dedicated to these animals. Remember: due to the physiological characteristics of the hearing aid, it will be difficult for your pet to perceive and focus on names such as Pirate, Pedro, Puff, Pierre. But a name like Peeves will immediately attract his attention. The ferret is a specialized hunter of small mammals and ground-nesting birds. For him, responding positively to a sound like a squeak is an instinctive reaction.
Animals also react negatively to hissing sounds. This also needs to be taken into account when choosing a name for your ferret.
Name for a deaf ferret. Unfortunately, congenital deafness is common among ferrets of rare colors. Such a pet will not be able to respond to a sound name, so it makes no difference what verbal expression you choose to individualize your animal. To communicate with him you will need to choose a different method. Ferrets are sensitive to vibrations. The animal clearly detects, for example, the vibration of the floor if you lightly stamp your foot on it, or the vibration in the air when you clap your hands loudly. In order for your cool friend to communicate with you, choose actions that generate vibration as a sign system.
The unique sound of the name. When choosing a nickname, make sure that it is unique, that is, it does not sound the same as the words that you use in everyday life. A ferret's hearing is so subtle and sensitive, its psyche is so tailored to the way of life in nature, that for it even its name and its diminutive are completely different sounds and symbols. Therefore, if a ferret hears its name sounding without reference to it personally, psychological confusion will arise, which will make it difficult for the animal to self-identify with the name given to it.
When referring to recommendations, be careful. In one of his sketches, the great satirist A. Raikin said: “Why study yourself if it is more profitable to teach others?” Unfortunately, there are often educational articles on the Internet that are not written by specialists. Some sites provide entire lists of names for ferrets. When following such advice, it is better to be careful and not take the recommendations unconditionally. For example, one such site suggests a name for a male ferret, Wilbur, describing it as best suited for large ferrets that like to bathe. Small ferrets also love to swim, and such a sound combination is difficult for the animal’s hearing aid to perceive, and the name itself evokes not very pleasant associations with the title of the popular film “Wilbur Wants to Commit Suicide.” Do you think it’s cool to call your pet this name? And in your desire to give your pet a cool name, won’t you look stupid at best? For example, nicknames for female ferrets are offered: Flora, Nera. Tell me, will you like it if you are called the kingdom of plants or the name of the goddess of the night and dark sorcery? Not to mention the fact that these ferret girls are unlikely to be able to distinguish their name in the stream of sounds.
Is she a ferret or is he a ferret, choose the gender of your pet
After you have decided what kind of pet to get, a new question and a new task arises: a boy or a girl? Females and males always differ: some of them are calmer, kinder, while others, on the contrary, are active and aggressive. We decided to tell you about all the pros and cons of ferrets of both sexes, and then the choice is yours.
Female
1. Independent, but more trainable than the male. Getting her used to the litter tray is not that difficult if you devote enough time to this issue.
2. The behavior of each female is individual, but basically most of the time she explores the territory of her cage.
3. Females are less attached to their owners, they are more interested in their personal space.
4. They cope with a change of environment without stress. They will also take the change of owner calmly.
5. Females are more active, restless and playful than males. The world around them constantly attracts them, they are interested in everything around them.
6. Girls are considered less dangerous to children.
7. It is recommended to have females for those who have no experience in keeping ferrets.
8. The main issues that the girl’s owner will have to decide are sterilization or obtaining offspring. Ferrets cannot come out of heat on their own.
9. Females, as a rule, successfully reproduce annually for 3-4 years. You can breed a female two weeks after the start of estrus. When choosing a pair, you should stick to the same color from both manufacturers.
10. A pregnant female requires more attention. She eats, drinks and sleeps more often. Ferrets actively shed during this time, but their behavior calms down, becomes more cautious and less playful. At the beginning of estrus, the female must be given vitamins. Calcium, phosphorus, vitamins, and yeast are added to the feed.
11. The female’s pregnancy lasts 40-45 days.
Male
1. During adolescence, males will behave violently, trying to dominate their owner. Later they become calmer and even lazy.
2. Males are more attached to the owner than females. Some can even sleep in their owner's arms.
3. It is much more difficult to train a male ferret to use a litter box; girls are more accommodating in this regard.
Nicknames for boy ferrets
“Warm” pet names Zhuchok, Pushok, Ryzhik are suitable for smart, calm, playful, obedient ferrets. In addition, the last nickname will also “mark” the color of the animal.
Quint can be called a kind, but vulnerable animal - he is disgusted by strict, and even more so rude, treatment.
Little Clark becomes very attached to his owner, even meets him at the door when entering, but he has a serious character.
An affectionate, real fluffy “paw” named Micah is a creature devoted to its owner.
Nicknames for male ferrets also do not suffer from monotony; it all depends on the erudition, sense of humor and imagination of the animal owner:
Don't use hissing sounds in your name; ferrets don't like them.
- Albert;
- Alf;
- Archie;
- Tiny;
- Loki;
- Patrick;
- Plush;
- Roni;
- Smiley;
- Tim;
- Flint...
Main features of a home thief
Ferrets, with their cute appearance, are able to outright defeat everyone around them, and without any additional effort. At the same time, the animal’s physique is distinguished by incredible flexibility and plasticity, which even the most talented gymnasts would envy.
The look of these pets deserves special attention. Small sparkling eyes are always fraught with some kind of cunning and look very much like beads. Another feature of these animals concerns their graceful paws, which cannot remain in place for even a split second. The incredibly soft, pleasant to the touch “fur coat” of small animals does not leave others indifferent.
Of all the behavioral features of ferrets, the following should be highlighted:
- resourcefulness;
- plastic;
- nimbleness;
- cunning;
- incredible love for theft.
It is generally accepted that the desire to steal is in the blood of ferrets, as an unconditioned reflex that all animals possess. That is why ferrets are deservedly called little thieves. Even the second name of ferrets “furo” translated into Greek sounds like “cunning”, and in Latin it means “little thief”. Although this does not make the love for them any less, this feature is often taken into account when thinking about what to call a ferret that appears in the family.
Interestingly, kleptomaniac ferrets prefer to steal an item and then hide it in one of their secret storage areas. Thus, it turns out that any serious nickname will look inappropriate with the rather frivolous behavior and character of the animal itself
However, it is not so rare to find unique ferrets that just want to come up with something more serious and important as a nickname.
Named by color
What name can you choose for a female ferret? Let's look at its color. Is your pet completely white? Let it be Snow White, Snezhana, Smetanka, Winter, Blizzard, Blizzard, Snowflake, Blonde.
For a sable-colored pet, the names Bounty and Brownie are suitable.
It is appropriate to call the black ferret Bagheera, Bayadera, Brunette, Blackka.
For a chocolate girl, you can choose the name Chocolate, Chokopaika, Shokoya, Shaki.
What names can you come up with for male ferrets based on color?
- For the white guy: Blonde, White, Snow, Snowball, Cream.
- For a black male: Black, Ugolek, Chernysh.
- The sable ferret will appreciate the simple name – Sable.
- It’s easy to give chocolate a name: Snickers, Mars, Nesquik, Coffee.

Which one?
All purebred dogs are divided into three types:
- The first type is the pet class.
These are simple pets that do not have any special external characteristics and will not attend exhibitions or engage in breeding work. Such dogs are loyal friends and companions. Their price is low, however, it often depends on the breeder. - The second type is the breeding class
of dogs with high exterior characteristics. They take part in exhibitions, and if you approach them competently, it will not be difficult to obtain a high-quality headboard. Many representatives of this type are breeding animals, so they will cost more than the pet class. - The third variety is exhibition or show class
. There are not many such dogs; they can be called close to the ideal standard. Animals of this type are representatives of blue blood. Experts know them by name. Buying such a dog is not easy - you have to wait for months and years. At exhibitions they always take prizes, but in breeding they do not live up to expectations. Their prices are very high.

Don't call me that!
Don’t let your pet’s name become a petty revenge against a person who somehow offended you, and in this way you want to annoy him.
This is not the best option for two reasons: firstly, you will constantly remind yourself of the offense, calling the animal by its “enemy” name several times a day; secondly, if you have become attached to the new tenant of the apartment, is it worth naming him with the name of the offender, because it will be projected onto the innocent animal and will most likely cause antipathy towards it?
You shouldn’t name your pet as a joke or “for fun” either - you can quickly get bored with the name “not seriously”, but the animal is already accustomed to it, and renaming it will lead to restless behavior and even stress.
The same situation may arise if the ferret already had a nickname before you acquired it, and then you suddenly decided to give him another one. It’s better not to do this - a new unfamiliar environment is enough for him.
You should not give the name of a person who has already died - this will also be a constant reminder of pain with a natural negative charge.
This condition equally applies to the name of a former pet who died of illness or died. In addition to being a reminder, some believe, this step may attract a negative aura to the new inhabitant. Even if the owner is far from such superstitions, it is better not to take risks.
Ferrets are cute animals, and the name should be appropriate. It is not a good idea to name a family member or close friend who often drops by.
A smart animal will simply get confused in names and nicknames - whether you are calling him or not - and will not respond to the call at all, and will never get used to the nickname.
However, giving human names to animals, no matter how cute and cute they may be, is not entirely ethical.
It’s easy to put yourself in the shoes of a person who suddenly finds out that his neighbor’s ferret is his namesake: Boris or Lisa. Some will take this with humor, while others will be deeply offended, especially if the person considers the ferret to be cunning and thieving.
A nickname such as Snezhok, Belyanka, Umka, Yukki that does not correspond to its color would be inappropriate for a “dark-skinned” ferret. The same applies to the breed.
People who have a ferret as a pet will not be disappointed. He is extremely interesting to watch.
The fluffy, beautiful, playful and cunning animal is very funny. Based on these definitions, you can come up with a cute nickname. And if you also know that he has the makings of a real kleptomaniac - he carries everything that is bad or that he himself has his eye on, then the scope for imagination in terms of choosing a nickname is practically unlimited.
It would not be amiss to include in this process the translation from Latin or Greek of the word “furo”, which in the first case means “little thief”, and in the second - “cunning”.
Basics
Almost every breeder of these animals, speaking about their names, categorically does not recommend using the names of deceased animals, since they supposedly carry a negative aura. But a ferret is a living creature just like a human. Why do we often name children in honor of a grandfather or grandmother who is no longer alive, believing that they will keep the child from danger? Therefore, when choosing a name for a ferret, remember the main thing - it should, first of all, please you and your household, and not meet the recommendations of various advisers. After all, it is chosen to evoke positive emotions, and not to satisfy the requirements of numerologists, Feng Shui specialists, astrologers, sorcerers and other “specialists”, for whom it is often not the emotional connection between you and your pet that is important, but the satisfaction of their ambitions.

A little about the content
We talked about names for ferrets and made lists of the best ones. But one cannot fail to mention such an important point as the maintenance of these animals.
It all starts with the cell. If you buy a ferret from a pet store, they may sell you a cage suitable for a guinea pig, but not for this cute predator. Firstly, future housing for a ferret should be vertical and consist of at least three floors. As in the photo.
Secondly, the dimensions of the cage should be 60*80*45 cm. And this is the minimum. The width of the rods is no more than 5 cm. Otherwise, the cunning animal will simply bend them aside and go for a walk.
Now let's mention feeding. Pet stores have a fairly diverse selection of dry food for ferrets. Don't take the cheap one. It usually contains cereals and bone meal. There are no useful substances there: just solid dyes and preservatives.
Funny and cute nicknames
Adorable, funny and friendly names are an excellent choice for cute and affectionate animals. And here are some examples:

How to get used to a name
So, you've finally chosen a nickname. But I would also like the little animal to learn it and respond.
To begin with, understand for yourself that a name once chosen should not be changed after a few days to a new one that suddenly seemed more sonorous or suitable to you.
For some time, until the ferret gets used to the sound of his nickname, call him only by his full name, without using diminutive forms that can confuse the animal - after all, he can perceive each one as a new name.
The greatest effect is achieved by this approach: persistently pronounce the name immediately before feeding. Very soon the animal will get used to the fact that it receives food at the same time as this sound, and will begin to respond to it at any other time.
At first, you need to reward the ferret for this with some favorite treat, then the treat can be replaced by simply stroking it.
You should not use a nickname if you want to rein in a mischievous person or if he is extremely busy with something: he simply “will not hear” your call and will continue to ignore it in the future. And in general, accustoming to a name should take place with positive emotions - without shouting, dissatisfaction, or punishment. The ferret is a freedom-loving animal; it does not want to obey anyone.
Have you chosen a name?Yes No
Name for the mongrel
If your dog is a mongrel, then choosing a name for it depends entirely on your imagination. Of course, not all owners are in a hurry to give her free rein, and most often the black dog is named Chernysh, the stern, evil chain guard is Fierce, the dog picked up from the street is Naida, the shaggy one is Doll, etc. But simple options are not always the best, because in the case of mongrels it is often difficult to predict what size and appearance the pet will be when it grows up. A male the size of a Malamute will look comical with the name Baby or Bunny. Often the owners of mongrels are embarrassed to give their animals unusual, pretentious, as it seems to them, names, and it is completely in vain - your shaggy friend will not have a complex because he, for example, is Archibald, and not Druzhok, and it will be convenient for you if A dozen more will not respond to your call along with your pet. Perhaps your children will want to help you find a nickname for the puppy - they will be pleased to name their little friend after a character from their favorite cartoon series or book.
