Heather Alex-rice

Heather Alex-rice breeds ferrets in Harrisburg, PA and across central Pennsylvania. A long-time member of the American Ferret Association, she follows established guidelines on temperament and genetic health. Socialization and safe handling are key in her program so that kits become comfortable with gentle handling and everyday home life.

Ferrets live in spacious, climate-controlled enclosures with nesting areas, tunnels, toys, and enjoy a balanced diet that supports natural play. She starts litter box training at four weeks, and kits explore under supervision in a family room. One adopter noted a new kit settled in within hours, displaying calm, curious behavior. Veterinary exams and routine screenings for common illnesses ensure each ferret is in good health before leaving home. Owners appreciate clear health records, personalized care guides, and the chance to meet the entire ferret family on a small home farm.
