    Cost varies. I spend around $10-15 a month. I use stove pellets for litter ($5 for a 40 pound bag) and feed earthborn kibble. Toys are an extra cost. I make my own which is much cheaper than buying. Vet bills are another cost.

    That depends on a lot of factors.

    Brand of food

    Size of bag of food

    How much the ferret eats

    How many toys you buy

    The type of litter you buy

    The amount of litter bought

    How much litter is used

    Bedding (unless you plan to use fleece or no bedding)

    Emergency vet visits (if needed)

    etc

    When I had my 3 ferrets I spent on average $40-$60 a month unless one had to go to the vet.

    It depends on what you feed for the most part. I spend maybe $10-$15 a month(on three ferrets, I might add). I feed raw though, so I buy in bulk and spend $60-$90 every six months or so. Feed them trash and you'll be paying thousands in vet bills later, so it's cost efficient in more ways than just good food.

    $35 on puppy pads which I get about every three months, which isn't cost efficient in the least, and you are better off with wood stove pellets. lol

    I snag a new toy here and there(usually under $5), blankets and the like usually about $2-$3 at walmart on the fleece blankets and you can make them into hardy hammocks.
