Yes, a pet ferret is able to coexist with an additional ferret, or even perhaps two, in one cage, but if you have another kind of pet, try to think and consider things first. As they are naturally predatory animals in their wild habitats, ferrets kept as pets will still keep their predatory instincts strongly coursing through their veins.
If a pet ferret is kept with a smaller animal, your ferret may think of the other animal as fair game. Instances of young kittens and various other smaller pets getting killed by the pet ferrets do exist.
Risks are always involved if you decide to keep another pet species with a pet ferret in one enclosure. If the ferret and the other pet are sized around the same, the threat could be somewhat reduced. Introducing a pet ferret to a different pet species is quite the challenge and very close supervision is a must.
