Yes ferrets do look like minks...Ferrets are related to the mink. The only different is size (they tend to run bigger than ferrets) and they also have around head..Oh and yes, ferrets and minks get along in a household. :) On a side note...I have 6 ferrets. All of which like to go hiking, camping, canoeing...Just plain old Adventuring with thier two legged family members. Having just moved here from Boston (was in AZ 14 years before all this moving) to IL. I was wondering if anyone knew of a fun place to take the kids (I know not really a ferret question but don't know who else to ask)? Also, We have added Gizmo to the bunch and need a better vet than the one we first took her too in Arlington Heights...Has anyone heard of the Midwest Bird and Exotic vet? Are they any good? We need a Rabies shoot for her pretty neverous about taking her to the last vet after having to stop the vet from giving her 2 shoots at once without benadril...Please let me know..
