If someone has experience with ferrets and hopefully also with rats, I would love to hear opinions/comparisons on them.
We have rats and know what they are like (rabbits too, of course), but are considering the possibility of getting ferrets once our current rabbits are no longer with us (once they pass).
Our rats came from a reputable breeder who socialized their rats well. So we've not experienced some horror stories I've heard of aggressive, biting rats.
I peeked on a ferret forum and saw people dealing with blood-drawing, biting ferrets. I wondered if these cases are similar to "pet store rats."
