From Dr. JoGayle Howard of the Smithsonian National Zoo:

>This kit will definitely stay in SSP [Species Survival Plan] for
>breeding due to his genetic value-but he will be going to the
>National BFF Conservation Center in Colorado since they will have
>more genetically compatible females to breed with next year. Most of
>the ferrets move around breeding programs each year to get the best
>genetic pairings.

Peanut's going to be a stud! Lucky boy!
