Ferrets are energetic, curious, interested in their surroundings and often actively solicit play with humans, having a repertoire of behaviors both endearing and difficult for some human owners. Play for a ferret will often involve hide-and-seek games, or some form of predator/prey game in which either the human attempts to catch the ferret or the ferret to catch the human.

Adorable, affectionate, fun to play with, easy to maintain.
Harder to find a petsitter, requires a lot of money for unexpected medical expenses, as ferrets get sick easily, or may swallow objects.

Can eat cat food; playful and affectionate; will choose *special* humans to interact with. They make and/or find their own toys. They've been domesticated longer than cats or dogs. *Not* rodents!
Considered an exotic animal, they are extremely expensive to get vet care for -- 3-4 times the cost for a cat/dog, and they'll need it. They will wreck your upholstered furniture building nests.
