The ferret is the domesticated form of the polecat and a curious, playful hunter. With its slender body and agile nature, it likes to explore its surroundings. Originally bred to hunt rabbits, the ferret is now primarily known as a pet. As it is crepuscular, it spends most of the day sleeping and then goes exploring with plenty of energy.

In the pheasantry you can observe the tame relatives of the polecat, Mr. White, Ilmy and Ivy, at close range.
