where can i find a good ferret collar?

Question

i would like to keep collars with my phone number on my ferrets just in case something happens and one gets loose (not to mention two of the four look so identical i can't tell them apart if there not right next to each other). but all the collars i have ever bought get scratched to death by the ferrets and i am constantly having to loosen it (when they scratch it it pulls the fibers and tightens it) but all the ferret collars at my local pet stores are all made of the same material. does any one know of a collar made for animals as small as a ferret that won't strangle them over time from them sctratching it.

Answer 1

You could try the vest type like the Super Pet Comfort Harness or any of the harness types.
I get my stuff online at http://www.ferret.com .
I would never leave a collar on all the time though because I am afraid that they might get caught up under furniture like a couch and accidently hang themselves.

Answer 2

Collars won't stay on. Their jaw bones are about the same width as their neck so there's nothing to keep the collar in place.

You can put the information on a harness, but that would be hard for a ferret to wear continually.

To mark two different ferrets, you can use the tip of a magic marker on the center inside of one ear where the fur is lighter. That way you can see a mark. Remark it when the mark disappears.

Answer 3

I have not had luck with collars or harnesses of any brand or type. Some people do. I thought I was the only one. LOL

But honestly...one can live without them. Just use common sense and precautionary measures. Ferret proofing and avoiding your ferrets slipping out of the door to begin with will work just fine but you have to be vigilant.

As far as telling your ferrets apart...hmm...hehe, you have to be able to!! As they grow their paterns will change and differ. This should become easier as time goes on.
