I will one day own a ferret!
Ferrets are really cute! They are a distant relative to a weasel.
Oh thank you for the information.  Anything else you can tell me ?
Well, I do know that the word "ferret" is derived from a word that means "little thief" in Latin. I think that's really cute, because ferrets like to hide small items.
Oh wow i had no idea .  I wonder what other people call ferret's in other parts of the world
domestication is uncertain, like that of most other domestic animals, but it is likely that they have been domesticated for at least 2,500 years. They are still used for hunting rabbits in some parts of the world, but increasingly they are kept only as pets.
Being so closely related to polecats, ferrets easily hybridize with them, and this has occasionally resulted in feral colonies of polecat–ferret hybrids that have caused damage to native fauna, especially in New Zealand. As a result, New Zealand and some other
parts of the world have imposed restrictions on the keeping of ferrets.
Several other mustelids also have the word "ferret" in their common names, including the black-footed ferret, an endangered species.
Etymology.
The name "ferret" is derived from the Latin "furittus", meaning "little thief", a likely reference to the common ferret penchant for secreting away small items. The Greek word "ictis" occurs in a play written by Aristophanes, "The Acharnians", in 425 BC
