So far Rockerfeller and DuPont, our ferrets, have not had a problem socializing and playing with two of our Chihuahuas. Up to a week ago, the only two Chihuahuas that played with the ferrets were a 1-3/4 pound, 8 month old male and a 3 yo 2-1/2 pound female. I am now in the process of socializing our two litters of Chihuahua pups (4 at 6 weeks and 3 at 5 weeks) with the ferrets. The two oldest, but tiniest pups seem to thrive on the attention they get from the two ferrets. Hide and go seek and chase (thru a dryer vent tube) are their top two favorite games. The other pups are still rather bashful and will join in momentarily, but need encouragement. The ferrets on the other hand love their new "active" toys ;-) - much better than those lazy cats.
