About National Ferret Day in the United Kingdom
National Ferret Day takes place on May 5th each year in the United Kingdom.

Ferrets are work animals, hunting and eating rabbits, gophers and other garden pests. Ferreting means using ferrets to hunt.

They are cute, and mischievous pets (like mongooses) that do well with large pets (keep them away from rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters). 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.

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.

The Ferret Education & Research Trust (FERT) is founding charity behind National Ferret Day in the UK. Its aim is to educate the public about the domesticated ferret, to ensure it is respected as a working animals as well as a companion animal. The Trust was disbanded in September 2013, but continues to support the Green Ribbon Campaign and National Ferret Day.
