You aren't alone, but it's not terribly common.  Know of several which
have gotten along with rabbits, or with large rodents like chinchillas,
and even one with a mouse (which it fed).  Not impossible, but highly
unusual, and could be a serious risk to try.  Splash on tv in Metropets
even gets along with large birds (in addition to large lagomorphs, large
rodents, dogs, and cats) but he isn't trusted with small birds, with small
rodents, with herps, with invertebrates, etc.

Obvious that should have read that they did their work to help ferrets
rather than my insertion appearing to have beheading help ferrets.  Hey,
who said that I was (am) awake?
