While ferrets can be placed in the same enclosure that has adequate space for all of them, housing them with other types of pets needs to be deliberated on carefully. These animals have a strong prey drive and they can easily prey on smaller pets, like rodents and birds. There have been instances when pet ferrets killed small kittens. With this in mind, pet ferrets should never be housed in the same cage with smaller pets that can possibly end up as food for a ferret. Even with domestication, their prey instincts are still very strong. Thus when you are considering housing your pet ferret with other types of pets, you should think about this possible scenario that can take place if you are not too careful. There have been cases of successful shared housing between an adult ferret and an adult animal of another type. The risks are significantly minimal than housing your pet ferret with smaller pets.
