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.
Ferrets make interesting pets, they are very inquisitive and playful and can be trained. Ferrets can be kept as pets where it is impractical to keep other animals such as dogs and cats. Ferrets are a high maintenance pet, so they should only be kept by someone who will be able to devote the time required. They need be be able to run out of their cage and exercise for at least a couple of hours each day.
