Answer:
1. Unlike rats and hamsters, ferrets are members of the mink family, which is closely related to the weasel. Despite their appearance, ferrets are not rodents. And they're adorable, too.
2. Sometimes they go into a deep slumber, known as "dead sleep," that they can't be roused from, and it's hard for them to get out of it. These ferrets don't move no matter how hard you try to shake, squeeze or even hit them in the chest. Inexperienced pet owners panic, believing that their beloved pet has died, only to discover that it has only opened its eyes and carried on as normal.
3. There is a good chance that they will steal your possessions: and you may never get them back. A ferret's nesting tendency makes it prone to stealing and storing stuff. There isn't much you can do to stop this habit, so if you want to avoid losing your keys in the future, you need get familiar with where it likes to hide.
