Answer 2

Ferrets are naturally carnivores and can be extremely aggressive towards other animals- especially ones that are similar to what they would eat in the wild. To house a ferret and a rabbit in the same cage would mean death for the rabbit- no question about it. Ferrets are also better kept in the house as they require several hours of interaction a day, which includes free roaming time.

The differences between ferrets and rabbits is so huge. Ferrets are more like toddlers, they can also be moodier. I'm not saying that they don't make great pets, but please do a bit more research first.

Answer 3

DO NOT GET A FERRET IF IT HAS TO LIVE ON THE PORCH!!!!
It is irrisponsible and cruel. Ferrets need alot of attention and are very high maitenance. The ferret will KILL the rabbit since it is a carnivore and its very presence will stress the rabbit out, since rabbits are prey animals. Rabbits also need alot of attention. Both ferrets and rabbits die from heat stroke very easily and a porch is not safe place to live for either. If the rabbit is lonly then either spend more time with it or find it another home that will provide the attention and care the rabbit needs.

Ferrets will attack and would feasible kill your bff's rabbit. The kin ferret (many centurys in the past) replaced into bred as an exterminator, and often used to flush wild rabbits out of their dens, and that they have been positioned on boats to kill rats the cats could no longer get to. Your soliciting for difficulty in case you attempt to introduce them at the same time, a ferret the teeth are sharp and would honestly inflict a deep chew on the rabbit earlier you even know what's taking place. My canines, cats and ferrets all get alongside, yet my ferrets have chew my german shep.'s leg, hung directly to it and tried to pull it under the settee, sturdy ingredient my GSD is a huge canines, he do no longer innovations what they do to him.

Answer 5

Ferrets love haussenpheffer! Since ferrets are still used in Europe to hunt rabbits, and rabbits are not so good at defending themselves, I would say no. Not a good idea. But hey, it will make the ferret happy.

Answer 6

Rabbits and ferrets aren't a good mix. Instead of getting a ferret you should get another rabbit to keep it company. Rabbits are social animals and neutered males and spayed females make the best companions.

Answer 7

Depends on how hungry the ferret is and how fast the bunny is. If it's a big rabbit he might be too big for the ferret to concider prey though.

Answer 8

Ferrets can be trained to get the rabbit out of the burrow. They are not two of the best animals to put together. The ferret will try to kill the rabbit. Good luck.

Answer 9

They will get along famously until the feret eats your rabbits but rabbits are cheaper then ferets so you shouldn't have too much trouble feeding your new feret. If your rabbit is lonely get another rabbit. Ferets are natural predators of rabbits and the mere sight of a feret may induce a heart attack/stroke in said bunny. Be smart get another bunny or feed existing bunny to way cooler feret.

Answer 10
