A13. Children and ferrets can make the best playmates under the supervision of a responsible adult. If you have a baby or a small child ( under the age of 6) a ferret may not be the best choice as ferrets can sometimes play rough and nip tender skin much like a puppy or a kitten until trained not to do so. Also small children do not always understand how to handle an animal correctly and could inadvertently hurt a ferret. Small children should never be left unattended with any animal, no matter how trusted the pet is or even for a few seconds.
