How do ferrets respond to stimuli?
they are very curious and mischievious animals. but they are awesome pets.
Even humans are known to have eaten badgers.
They say it taste like pork.
Most animals would stay away from a badger though. They are not on the main menu due to being able to bite hard and they are tough prey to lay down.
Young ones (cubs) are hunted by wolves, foxes etc. I suppose they would say they taste like chicken.
Badgers even eat their own kind if hungry enough. Not actually hunting themselves, but if they find a corpse, then they might have a "feast".
Since Badgers eat dead animals, they are at great risk of developing Trichinosis. This is a parasitic worm infestation that is next to impossible to actually cure. Trichinosis is transferable to humans.
Taxonomically, they belong to the weasel family, and the 'true weasel' genus. However ermine (Mustela erminea) are a distinctly different species to the animal commonly referred to as a weasel (Mustela nirvalis).
coyotes are enemies of the ferrets so they might try to kill or eat the ferret Domestic ferrets or Black Footed ferrets, see related questions below
What is the black footed ferrets threat to becoming extinct?

What does a desert badger eat?

Can ferrets survive in cold weather?
Ferrets are usually kept indoors in a temperature controlled environment, and can only be housed outdoors in an an area where it NEVER gets above 80˚f / 26˚c, and then only if they remain out of direct sunlight. Ferrets cannot handle high temperatures and humidity well at all and are extremely susceptible to heatstroke. Generally, when temperatures exceed 80˚f (26˚c), a ferret will begin to suffer the effects of overheating and possible heatstroke.
Badgers usually eat anything that is ground-dwelling, such as prarie dogs, moles, voles, harvest mice, ground feeding birds, or squirrels! Badgers usually eat anything that is ground-dwelling, such as prarie dogs, moles, voles, harvest mice, ground feeding birds, or squirrels!
What are the weasels predators?
Most animals try to stay away from weasels. But owls, eagles and other birds of prey might attack a weasel. No animals actually consider them prey. But also badgers, coyotes, foxes, and even other weasels might attack them. (But for the owls, and other birds of prey sometimes the hunters become the hunted.)
Domestic ferrets are found almost all over the world. Black footed ferrets are in prairie lands of the US and Canada. European polecat ferrets - in England
Do ferrets see better at night?
Guinea pigs are mostly diurnal - which makes them better children's pets than hamsters which are more nocturnal or crepuscular at best and can be a little cranky in the daytime when human children are active. I would say that the Guineas would likely see better during the day.
A domestic ferret can breed with a European polecat ferret and produce hybrids
an extreme case of qualification in which the apparent meaning is not intended after all.
The weasel dislikes: owls, snakes, hawks, bears, coyotes, bobcats, fisher, horned owl.
Can veterinarians have ferrets in California?
Sadly, yes.
And for reasons that are based on an archaic and thoroughly inaccurate Law.
Supposedly the Law in California (and Hawaii ) views ferrets as dangerous towards the local ecosystem and/or environment.
What the Powers that Be seem to fail in understanding is that almost ANY ferret released in the wild, will not survive more than a few hours, if at all through the night.
Not to mention, vast majority are neutered/spayed, so a random growth in population is unlikely unless an act of G-d occurs.
They're Domesticated, which means their dependance on Humans for survival is almost 99.9%, if one is to pay attention to that itty bitty 1% that manages to find sustenance, the reproduction factor must play in as well as survival from predators, which ferrets do have.
Not to mention location, getting squashed by cars, killed by stray Dogs or Feral cats, spiders, snakes, birds, drowning etc...
There are far more dangers to the local Californian wildlife than a lost, confused and hungry domestic ferret.
That doesn't mean, however, that there are None.
Many people who truly adore ferrets, much like cat people or dog people, go to great lengths to keep their ferrets, happy healthy and above all Safe.
In California, they'll confiscate a pet ferret and euthanize, which is why a person must be very very careful when transporting their precious furkid to a vet appointment (There's a group called Ferret Anonymous that have better information on this).
Badgers are found on North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia.
Sneezing is not much to worry about they do that often
But for the throwing up, ferrets are really not supposed to throw up. She may have a hair ball which can cause alot of damage, i recommend taking her to the vet and collecting the throw up if you can, or even try giving her some LAX they sell it in any store that has ferrets. Give her some of that and see what happens in 1 day. If nothing changes take her to see your vet.
