[Stoat]

but you still haven`t answered my question :D (ferrets/stoats).... ;)

I'm sorry, I must have missed your question.  Would you mind restating it please?

I have had 2 ferrets as pets in the past... and stoats look the same, a little smaller though....

I have searched the internet for ages trying to find out if they are related but have been unable to find any information. Are ferrets and stoats related?

Thanx ;)
