The black-footed ferret is secretive and nocturnal, few people have ever seen them in the wild. Most of its time is underground in prairie dog burrows, and typically spends only a few minutes above ground each day to hunt or find new burrows or mates.

The young will begin to hunt alone, and by September are usually independent and solitary. Both male and female ferrets become sexually mature at one year of age,
