Today is National Ferret Day! Many of our domestic animals have been adopted from rescue programs. Ferrets Richard and Nella were both adopted from the Humane Society of Tacoma. Now, the duo have each other and receive a ton of love and attention from their keepers at Kids’ Zone. The keepers say our ferrets are a good mix of silliness and sleepiness. If you are considering having a ferret as a pet, it is essential to learn how to care for them properly.
