As the owner of seven (7) ferrets (one-upmanship on Cindy?) I too am
interested in this question.
 
However, I have contacted a colleague in Missouri who can answer this
better than me.
 
I do know that ferrets have been domesticated for over 3,000 years
and that there is some confusion over cross-breeding with polecats.
All I know is my seven fuzzballs wouldn't know what to do with a live
mouse or rat ... they seem to have almost no outdoor survival skills.
 
Hopefully, Bob Church will respond ... I gave him the listserv
address in case he isn't a member.
