Ferretts are domesticated animals, cousins of the weasels, skunks and otters. (Other relatives are minks, ermines, badgers, black-footed ferrets, polecats and fishers). They are NOT rodents. It is believed that ferrets were first domesticated by the Egyptians some several thousand years ago. Their behavior and personality is somewhere between cats and dogs (although they are much smaller in size). Some are cuddly and others are more independent. They vary a lot, just like other pets. Average size for a male is around 45cm in length and weigh between 1.2-2.3kg compared to 35cm in length and 500gms-1.2kg for females. FERRETS WILL NOT SURVIVE IN THE WILD. They are likely to die from dehydration or starvation within a few days.  Ferrets are extremely playful with both humans and other ferrets; inquisitive; remarkably determined; able to be trained to use kitty litter; very social; sleep for great lengths of time. Most love to go places with you on a harness and can be kept in a decent sized cage.  There are so many different things you can buy for your ferret to make life with a ferret so much more enjoyable and rewarding.  Harnesses are best for ferrets and you can even get  high fashion for them just by shopping at First Rate Pets.
