Ferrets were thought to be first domesticated by the Egyptians to control rodents around 1300 B.C. However, they were probably displaced by cats which were domesticated shortly thereafter. While hieroglyphic records depict a ferret-type animal, some argue that this animal was actually a mongoose. Also, ferrets are not really hot or warm weather animals and can easily get heat stroke. So unless the weather in ancient Egypt was much more temperate than it is today, ferrets probably did not come from the pharaohs.
Ferrets are nice good pets I have one they are easy to take care of, but they are very fragile animals.They only could live up to eight years.They love to sleep they sleep up to 16 to 18 hours that's a lot of sleeping although they are very clean animals. They can be aggressive only when they feel threatened and may bite. Also, did you know that the ferrets are the third domestic animals in America?
