Can ferrets and polecats live together?

Ferrets are believed to be domesticated European polecat ferrets and so will be able to live together happily in most cases - however, some ferrets (especially if they are unaltered) do seem to prefer being alone, so it can be assumed that some polecats will be the same and fights might break out, started by either side. They'll be able to mate, too, so be aware of this if you don't want to find your ferrets increasing in numbers rapidly.Do be aware that, if you have found an orphaned wild polecat or rehabilitated an injured wild one, it may carry diseases which your ferrets will be able to catch.
