Domestic ferrets as pets are just about everywhere, except places where they are illegal, like New Zealand, Parts of Australia, Hawaii, California, a few U S Cities.

European polecat ferrets (wild ferrets) are found across Europe, in New Zealand, Australia. European polecat ferrets are found in all kinds of habitats, prefer to live in the lowland country on the edge of forests or in grasslands with islands of scrub trees, along bodies of fresh water, river banks, dry stone walls, field edges, marsh lands and woodpiles and are commonly found near humans in farmland and farm buildings. They build dens among rocks and tree roots, and in old rabbit burrows.

The Black footed ferret is the only ferret species native to the Americas (there are no recognized subspecies). Black-footed ferrets at one time ranged over an enormous area spanning 11 Great Plains/Rocky Mountain states and one Canadian province and were found on black-tailed prairie dog colonies across the Great Plains from southern Canada to northern Mexico, and on white-tailed and Gunnison's prairie dog colonies across the intermountain west. The black footed ferret is native to North America in the grassland biome and their survival depends on prairie dogs for their main food source and make their homes in the burrows of prairie dog towns in North American prairie and grassland. There are three distinct areas of prairie - Tallgrass prairie, Mixed-grass prairie and Shortgrass prairie. In the United States, the greatest stretch of grassland is the prairie, extending from the Appalachians in the East to the Rocky Mountains in the West. Being in the center of the North American land mass, far from the moderating influence of major bodies of water, there is a great range of annual temperature.The dominant vegetation in these biotic communities is blue grama, mixed with galleta grass, Indian rice grass, and other grasses. By 1986 they were completely gone from the wild. Black footed ferrets have been successfully reintroduced to 15 locations within their former range in Wyoming, South Dakota, Montana, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Kansas and Chihuahua, Mexico.
