I have not known any ferret that is a problem.
no
Ferrets would need webbed feet to become semi-aquatic like the mink
The California State Fish and Game Commission believe that domestic ferrets could become feral, breed and multiply in the wild and prey upon native wildlife. The truth is domestic ferrets have lost the ability to survive on their own in the wild, most domestic ferrets are sold neutered rendering them unable to breed and multiply.
No, but they can become sick with it.
Black footed ferrets become able to reproduce at the age of one year in which from then on they can give life birth.
Yes. Ferrets are intelligent animals and easily become bored which leads them to become depressed. You can provide your ferret with enrichment by giving them a variety of toys, allowing them time out of their cage daily and by interacting and playing with them.
Ferrets do not hibernateSdresh is correct, they do not hibernate. They do become less active in the winter months though. Then again, so do I.No. Ferrets have no need to hibernate in winter. Instead of hibernating in winter ferrets will grow a thicker coat, eat more, put on weight and begin to sleep more.
Yes, Black Footed Ferrets do swim. Black footed ferrets are the most endangered mammal in North America since 1967 and have adapted many things in their life span.
That is a very popular myth but is certainly untrue. As long as proper care is given, no ferret will ever become vicious, though they can nip if untrained. VERY UNTRUE
Ferrets don't attack. Improperly raised and abused ferrets can become fear biters, just like any animal.
Ferrets are only bred with other ferrets
The collective term for a group of ferrets is a "a business of ferrets" or "a cast of ferrets".
