**Ferrets are carnivores.  Rabbits are prey animals.  They should NOT
  cohabitate!
 
**Ferrets have very thick skin.  Rabbits have paper thin skin.  They
  should NOT cohabitate!
 
**The first time the ferrets tries to play with the rabbit, as he would
  a fellow ferret the rabbit will be badly injured if not killed.  They
  should NOT cohabitate!
 
**Any interactions should be strictly supervised, and even then, the
  ferret can kill a rabbit in an instant.  They should NOT cohabitate!
