Interesting. I knew that ferrets were used in period to hunt rabbits from reading Gaston Phebus's Book of the Hunt, and had heard that they were used as mousers; but I didn't know how ancient and widespread those uses were.

Greetings Everyone,
Most people think they are cute critters.  Do you know their history?  
If you please, check out this article on the History of Ferrets, by 
Susan A. Brown D.V.M.   A good topic for children at demos.
