Ferrets are small, playful mammals that belong to the weasel family. They have long, slender bodies and are known for their curious nature. Often kept as pets, ferrets are social animals that enjoy interacting with humans and other pets. They require plenty of exercise and mental stimulation, making them lively companions. These animals are typically domesticated and come in various colors and patterns. Ferrets are known for their mischievous behavior, often getting into things they shouldn't. They have a unique way of moving, often "dooking," which is a joyful sound they make when excited. Proper care and attention are essential for a happy ferret.
