Ferrets (in the wild) are eaten by numerous Birds of Prey as well as carnivorous mammals.

Black-footed ferrets face threats in the wild from predators and disease, natural enemies includes coyotes, great-horned owls, golden eagles, prairie falcons, badgers, bobcats and foxes all prey on ferrets. Black-footed ferrets are preyed upon (eaten) by larger carnivorous mammals (such as coyotes), hawks, and owls.

from another contributor:

The history of domestic ferrets is not fully know, however it is known that ferrets are a breed species not a natural one. Therefore, ferrets have no real enemies. However, anything that likes to chase anything small and furry will be capable of causing harm or even kill a ferret. I have ferrets and cats who live together very happily
