National Ferret Day occurs on this day every year in the United Kingdom. It seeks to highlight issues such as welfare, care, nutrition, and ownership and educate the public to respect the animal we care so much about.
Ferrets are work animals, hunting and eating rabbits, gophers, and other garden pests. The term ‘ferreting’ means using ferrets to hunt.
They are cute and mischievous pets (like mongooses) that live well with large pets (keep them away from rabbits, guinea pigs, small kittens/puppies, and hamsters, though). National Ferret Day is an opportunity to dispel myths and show the ferret to be both the traditional hard worker it continues to be and the excellent companion animal it has become in recent years.
The Ferret Education & Research Trust (FERT) is the founding charity behind National Ferret Day in the UK. It aims to educate the public about domesticated ferrets to ensure they are respected as working animals and companions. The Trust was disbanded in September 2013 but continues to support the Green Ribbon Campaign and National Ferret Day. People are encouraged to consult the British Veterinary Association Animal Welfare Foundation (BVA AWF) for more information about this event.
