Ferrets are a domesticated carnivorous mammal, closely related to the wild stoat, weasel and polecat.

For centuries ferrets have been in Europe used for hunting small creatures such as rabbits which are a pest to farmers. Today they are still commonly used in hunting, but also commonly kept as pets due to their furry appeal and playfully inquisitive nature. Like weasels and their other wild counterparts, ferrets exude a strong musk or odour.
