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.

Do corn snake bites hurt as much as ferret bites?

It depends on how hard the ferret bites which depends on why the ferret has bitten you. If the ferret is scared or you are hurting it, it will bite to defend itself. This bite could be serious and painful. If the ferret is playing (ferrets play rough) will sometimes give you a small bite which isn't very painful. Ferrets can be trained to not bite or nip during play by scuffing them when they bite as this tells them you didn't like the behaviour. You can also get spray to put on your hands which will teach the ferret that your skin tastes bad and so will discourage biting
