Are ferrets similar to humans

Answer 1

Ferrets are always interested in what humans are doing and will follow you around

from another contributor:

Ferrets commonly get hyper and play, and then fall asleep often in your lap.

Answer 2

Yes, though they are very much like cats and dogs. Some ferrets are more sociable than others. In general, ferrets love humans. They enjoy playing with them and very much need the social interaction to stay healthy. Ferrets do not bite any more than dogs do when they are young. like teething puppies, some kits (baby ferrets) need to be taught not to nip, but they will rarely chomp down on you or draw blood.

The best way to teach a ferret who's playing with you not to bite is to yelp if he does. The little guy isn't trying to hurt you, he just might not understand that your lack of fur leaves you a little more sensitive to mouthy play.

Answer 3

Ferrets that are properly socialized and have plenty of human interaction do not attack people.

Ferrets (as well as other animals as pets) that have been abused and neglected might become fear biters. They bite out of fear.

Dogs are number one in attacks on humans
