About the 4-H Program in Minnesota Ferrets are very intelligent creatures. They tend to protect or defend their masters. They are also playful and curious.
Ferrets love to steal loose objects and wrestle.
They have been used for things like pest control and rabbit hunting. Ferrets live up to ten years and are on the endangered species list. In 4-H you could have a ferret as part of the Pet Project. There are tons of things you can do in this project area. The Technology Session was taught by Extension Educators Roger Reinert and Brenda Grundeen.
