Should you get a baby ferret or an older ferret?
A baby ferret requires a lot of attention and training, plus they are very active. An older ferret should already have training and not as active as they tend to sleep more. If you've never owned a ferret before, I would recommend getting an older, trained one. Bite and housetraining a ferret takes quite a bit of work and dedication and can be challenging for a first time ferret owner. You can find young ferrets up for adoption that have received the proper training from the shelter.

Would the scent of a ferret scare away field mice?
I have read that the scent of a ferret (and also ferret poop) would drive away mice and rats. As someone that has the seasonal intrussion of field mice into our house, and also has a house full of ferrets, I can tell you that they are NOT scared away by the scent of ferrets...at least not the domestic ferret that people keep as pets. I run a ferret shelter, and have had up to 45 ferrets in the shelter at one time. Each fall and winter, we get an influx of field mice in the shelter itself as well as the main house. We have ferrets that have free run of the house, and this does not deter the mice from stealing food from their bowls.
