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.
Ferrets are domesticated and are totally dependent on humans for food and survival. However, ferrets are predatory animals by nature and some might retain their natural instincts to prey and kill small, animals such as rodents (rats, mice), birds, reptiles, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits
A ferret's natural predatory instincts might possibly kill any rodents, rabbits, birds, guinea pigs, etc.
The most usual age related causes of death is cancer (insulinome) and adrenal disease.
Domesticated ones? They don't , get over the stereotype please.
Knifes, forks. Predators. If you mean food, avocados and chocolate can.
Ferrets do not kill cats, in fact cats are usually scared of ferrets.
Canine distemper is 100% fatal, but can be avoided with a vaccination. Any untreated illness can kill ferrets.
YES!#
Ferrets are solitary animals and hunt alone. Ferrets kill their prey with a sharp bite to the back of the neck.
The Ferret will more than likely try to kill and eat the Hedgehog. Ferrets prey on small animals.
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.
No. Even if the ferret didn't mean to hurt the rabbit it is very likely that it will because ferrets are rough (nip and scratch) when they play. It would not be advised to let the two play with one another
They can kill just about anything. And they are extremely fast.
Domestic ferrets do not kill chickens. Any kind of weasels in the wild would prey on chickens. Keep them in a pen.
Orcas, dolphins, foxes, dogs, and ferrets.
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!
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.
