Black-footed ferrets in the wild are susceptible to becoming prey themselves. Common predators of ferrets include coyotes (Canis latrans), badgers (Taxidea taxus) and great-horned owls (Bubo virginianus). Other predators can include bobcats (Lynx rufus) and hawks and eagles.
However, like cats, another naturally nocturnal creature, ferrets can adjust to your schedule. Ferrets can sleep 18 hours out of 24, or longer. While it's not advisable to let a ferret have the run of the house while you're not home, that shouldn't be a problem because he's sleeping anyway. However, you shouldn't leave him in a cage all the time.
