For centuries ferrets have been in [[Europe]] used for hunting small creatures such as [[rabbits]], gophers, groundhogs and [[mole (animal)|moles]], 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 odor.
