It really depends on how well you've trained your ferret. I train mine twice daily and give them pre and post workout supplements. Mine can easily kill small dogs and once killed a 1 year old pit bull mix. However, I have a friend who is very lax with his ferrets. They could not even kill a mouse when placed in a box with the mouse.

I would be really curious to know. I have had several ferrets that I have used for hunting. And I have seen ferrets kill a few poisonous snakes. Likewise, I have seen poisonous snakes kill ferrets. I do not see any lizard killing a ferret. So I am guessing a Western Diamond Back rattle snake.

Is it safe for ferrets to eat house mice?
Mice form part of the wild polecat's diet, meaning that while eating them will present a slightly increased chance of your ferret contracting disease from the mice (they may also get fleas), it will be safe enough to not worry about. I suspect that, if you keep ferrets and have mice in your home, it'll be almost impossible to stop the ferrets eating them!
Why did your ferret bite your rabbit?
Ferrets are predatory carnivores. In the wild, polecats (from which ferrets were domesticated from) would hunt and kill rabbits, and this instinct is not something that can be bred out of the species.
