No. Most often, the black footed ferret will occupy a prairie dog's burrow. Black footed ferrets rely completely on prairie dogs for survival. This includes food, and shelter. Very rarely, and I mean very rarely, a black footed ferret may modify a ground squirrel's den. Black footed ferrets rely on prairie dogs for about 95-98% of survival, and that includes dens.

Is a ferret okay without another ferret?
Ferrets can be okay by themselves - as long as they have plenty attention from humans and plenty of time out of their cage. My ferret is an only ferret after his cagemate died of old age at 9 years. I do not cage him, letting him free roam in a ferret proof bedroom, and I play with him a lot as he does demand my attention. If your ferret is going to be alone if you are away from home frequently, like for a job or school, then another ferret would be needed for companionship.
