Do Ferrets Make Good Pets?

A domestic ferret (Mustela putorius furo), is a mammal first bred from the wild European polecat or steppe polecat. Contrary to popular belief, ferrets are not rodents, but members of the mustelid family, which also includes weasels, badgers, stoats, and otters.

In many ways, ferrets act like kittens that never grow up. They have energy, curiosity, and potential for chaos all their lives, and are always keenly aware of their surroundings. Ferrets spend 14 to 18 hours a day sleeping, but when awake they are very active.They are far more people-oriented than cats, and most actively elicit play with their owners. Since ferrets are social animals, many of them are playful by heart and are happy to play with humans.

Ferrets are obligate carnivores, their natural diet consists entirely of meat, and they lack the ability to digest vegetable matter. Ferrets' lifespan can vary widely, but usually falls between six and eight years.

Yes, ferrets make good pets.
