All knowledge springs from questions.
 
Your questions are very good, but I won't have time to answer them until
the series on enrichment is done.  If you want, I can add a discussion of
ferret intelligence to my list of things to write about, and I can detail
the whats, whens, wheres, whos, and hows at that time.  Just to tease you
a bit, all I will say for now is that there are at least a half-dozen
well-done papers on the intelligence and problem solving abilities of
mustelids, including some cool studies of dogs, cats, herpestids,
polecats, and ferrets.

Why are you blowing yourself up?  Asking intelligent questions short out
the gray matter?  ;-)
