A ferret is of the family Mustela, or weasel. The scientific name for the ferret is Mustela putorius furo, or weasel-like stinky thief. Weasels and their cousins prey on small rodents so the likelyhood of a ferret attracting a mouse of any other rodent is nil. In fact having a ferret in your residence would deter any rodent from entering.
no.
Scents such as food attract mice.
Nothing. Anything in a feeder will attract many different birds (and squirrels, mice, rats, ...)
squirrels.
No. Mice do not venture close to houses at all, unless it needs food. If it could smell another mouse, it would probably go to that house first, thinking, "Oh! Another mouse is already here and snacking! This is a safe house to go in." Otherwise no.
squirrels
Squirrels have more in common with mice because they eat just about the same things a mouse does.
Woodchucks are considerably larger than both squirrels and mice. Woodchucks live in holes in the ground, mice in nests at various levels and squirrels in trees. Woodchucks, like squirrels, limit their activity in the winter.
NO
i bought my pet squirrels for 200 us dollars each.
Mice are rodents. There is no evidence that they can attract other species of rodents.
The woodchuck has more characteristics in common with squirrels because they are from the same family
