Do pet squirrels and ferrets get along?

I have 2 ferrets and Im trying to find another less common pet to be their new friend.Do pet squirrels and ferrets get along?
Dont get anything that is a prey animal, such as rabbits, chinchillas, squirrels etc. Ferrets are carnivores and it is their natural instinct to kill these animals.


Cats actually get along great with ferrets, they arent uncommon but they make good companions.Do pet squirrels and ferrets get along?
hmm, i wouldn't try it.


Squirrels are rodents, I believe, and ferrets really don't get along well with rodents.


Ferrets were originally used to hunt and kill rodents. People would have them in their house, and sailors would have them on their ships, so that they could get into little small places and kill rats and mice. Kinda like how some people keep cats nowadays to kill mice.





Honestly, ferrets get along best with ferrets. But if you want to try getting a different animal, you could always keep them separate.


Or I suppose, if you have your heart set on them being friends, you could put their cages close together, and see how they act towards eachother. Just don't let them run free with eachother until you know they get along, and I still wouldn't recommend any types of rodents.


Good luck though!
