Yes you should not get the ferret not at all! Pits are part of the terrior family and that is one of the breeds they tell you not to have if you are going to have a ferret! Please just do not get the ferret. And this is not becuase I hate Pits I accually love them it is just the terrior breeds do not do well with ferrets

Oh jeez...well they can get along peacefully provided they are never left unattended. Is the pit a puppy? If so you have a great chance at introducing them to the ferret early so he learns not to be mean to it. But remember it is in their bloodline to figt and to never back down until his job is done. Pit Bulls can live happily with other pets; if not left unattended. Even the "best of friends" can fight, and the outcome may be tragic. This can be true for dogs that have been together for years. Often, after the first serious fight, relations between the dogs are never the same.
Keeping that first fight from happening is a great way to ensure peaceful relations for the long run. If there is a multiple-dog household, it is important to separate the dogs when there is no one home.
Many people use crates for short times, put dogs into separate rooms, use kennels, or have outdoor areas set up for separation that are safe and secure. Pit Bulls can get along wonderfully with animals like cats, rabbits, and ferrets, but for safety's sake, never leave them alone together! Pit Bulls have a late maturity, and a Pit Bull that was dog friendly at 7 months old may suddenly show signs of intolerance of unfamiliar dogs around two years old. Definately think of Spaying or Neutering the dog. It may help to prevent "turning on" the genetic urge to fight another dog/pet.

Keep the ferret in a cage in your room. Don't let the dog in the bedroom. Or make sure the dog can't gain access to the ferret cage. Doesn't seem like much of a problem to me.
