The ferret is a domestic mammal and is a small, elongated carnivorous mammal belonging to the weasel family. The ferret is a very close relative of the polecat, and like most domestic animals, the original reason for ferrets' domestication by human beings is uncertain, but it may have involved hunting. The name ferret means 'little thief,' and is a likely reference to the common ferret penchant for secreting away small items. In this free video series, a chief veterinarian discusses pet ferrets and provides information on these furry pets. Discover how to buy a ferret, how to take care of ferrets, and how to give ferrets as gifts. Consider all of this information and these tips before deciding to get a ferret as a pet or give one away as a gift.
