Abstract
Ferrets enjoy a long history of interaction with humans. Initially domesticated to hunt rabbits, they now largely serve as pets. In science, they have come to represent an important model for a large variety of investigations. The ferret has found its way into the lab due to its moderate size and the relative ease with which it can be bred, raised, and kept under laboratory conditions.
