FERRETS

Ferrets are members of the "Mustelidae" family, other members of this group are the
weasel, mink, otter, badger and skunk. The scientific name for domestic ferrets is
"Mustela Furo".

First domesticated by the Egyptians in 3000BC, the ferret is believed to be introduced
in Europe by the Crusaders. The ferret was originally used by farmers to chase rats out of their graineries (in the 1800's).

Nowadays, people mostly use them to chase rabbits out of their holes (dens),
or as companion animals.

Ferrets generally live from 8 to 11 years.
