I didn't mean to imply I don't like ferrets. I love all animals. It's just that whenever I'm around one they tend to jump out of places I had no idea they'd gotten to and freak me out. They're sneaky.

How to you deal with rats breeding? Or are the ferrets involved into keeping the rat population at a manageable size (semi-serious question... how do they get along?)

lol at bug...I had a cat that used to hid on the stairway and grab my legs as I was going down. It is very startling to have your ankles grabbed by a sneaky fur-baby!

My cat just tries to trip me all the time. I don't think Wayne means it though.He is just overly friendly and right in front of my feet most of the time.

I don't think Ferrets eat rats...or do they? *shrug*
I know squirrels will eat anything and so will pigs, and chickens.

The males and females are in different cages. The ferrets would eat them in a second then smile and ask for barbeque sauce, with no malice at all. and don't worry, there was no insult taken over them, I thought it was funny.
