National Ferret Day occurs on this day every year in the United Kingdom. National Ferret Day seeks to ensure issues such as welfare, care, nutrition and ownership are all highlighted in a positive light and educate the public to respect the animal that 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 that it continues to be and also the excellent companion animal that it has become in more recent years.
The Ferret Education & Research Trust (FERT) is the founding charity behind National Ferret Day in the UK. Its aim is to educate the public about the domesticated ferret, to ensure they are respected as working animals as well as 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’s (BVA AWF) for more information about this event.
