I had to send a young weasel to the state health department to be examined for rabies. It looked just like a ferret except for the chest coloring and it was the size of a ferret. Anyone else have trouble discerning a little weasel from a ferret?

Thanks for wasting a half hour of my time while I "researched" your question and ended up watching ferret videos. I wouldn't want one for a pet myself, but I would like to have a friend with one because the tube rats look fun and cute.

Ferrets and weasels are part of the family mustelidae. They’re functionally identical. Ferrets, however, are mostly domesticated and don’t survive long in the wild.

Not really. One look at Anthony Wiener and it’s easy to tell he’s not a Ferret.
