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 good pets. Ferrets require neither human nor ferret company for security or amusement most of the time. They are not nocturnal, but go to sleep when nothing exciting is happening, and wake up whenever a human comes to entertain them (or to be entertained by them).
