No, a ferret is not a rodent or a rat, or even related to one. Ferrets are mustelids, like weasels, badgers, martens, ermines, minks and a lot more animals. Ferrets are used to hunt rabbits, and pet ferrets are fed meat or meat-based kibble, like cats; if you gave them food for rodents, they would soon die!
It's a common mistake to think a ferret is a rodent like rats, mice or rabbits because of their size, but think of what their teeth look like: rodents have the characteristic big two front teeth that they use for eating plants, ferrets have sharp pointy teeth like a cat or a dog would have, because they are carnivores like them, and eat meat.
Not only ferret-teeth look like that of a real carnivore, so does ferret-poo! Where a rodent like a rat would make those nice round or pill-shaped droppings, ferret poo is long and softer, and looks a bit like that of a cat, only smaller and turned. More proof they are not rats or rat-like!
The best way to be sure of all these nice ferret facts is by taking a close look at a ferret. While at first sight they look rat-like because of their pointy heads and slender body, when you watch them for a while, or get to play with them, you will soon see that they smell, feel, act and think nothing like a rat!
not really, unless it is a VERY big rat cage, an enclosure or a rabbit hutch with a run would be better.
yes. a ferret can have said cage as long as the bottom of the cage isn't wire, because it is uncomfortable for a ferrets feet.
A rat cage if way too small to house a ferret, they need a lot of space
A ferret is a member of the weasel family that have been used for centuries in the extermination of rats (which are in the rodent family). There are no similarities in ferrets and rats.
Rabbits are not apart of the rat family. They are in fact apart of the lagomorph family
