Ferret

Ferrets are small carnivorous mammals belonging to the family Mustelidae and are a domesticated subspecies of the European polecat. They are known for their slender bodies, short legs, curious nature, and playful disposition. Ferrets are widely kept as pets; they are highly intelligent and can be trained. Ferrets are strict carnivores, primarily feeding on whole prey (like rabbits or mice) or meat. They have fast metabolisms and require frequent feeding. Ferrets exhibit a unique 'dance' behavior when excited. They are typically solitary but can coexist with other ferrets in domestic settings.
