response: Aw sorry to hear it.  Did you know that the word ferret comes from a Latin word meaning little thief?   Apparently ferrets like secreting away small things.
original_response: I bet.  I have always wanted one especially since the name ferret is from the Latin name meaning little thief.  They sound like a handful!
history: I used to own ferrets. Man I miss having them.
knowledge: The name ''ferret'' is derived from the Latin ''furittus'', meaning ''little thief'', a likely reference to the common ferret penchant for secreting away small items.
