I don't think so, but ferrets can interbreed with wild polecat ferrets. In Russia, a hybrid was created of a ferret and a European mink, named "Khonorik". Its parents were a hybrid male of a polecat ferret (wild x steppe) and a female of European mink, making it a hybrid of three species. Later on Khonoriks were bred from a thoroughbred wild European polecat ferret and European mink.

The stoat or ermine is in the same family as ferrets. If unaltered they will be very territorial and aggressive during breeding season. If they are fixed, they will most likes get along, but they may not.
