It is estimated that there are about 800,000 ferrets as pets  in the U.S. In Australia the numer of pet ferrets is about 150,000. It's difficult to come up with a number of pet ferrets worldwide, bul they have become very popular. The Ancient Egyptians kept ferrets as pets before cats  rose so high in their estimation. In Europe, ferrets were kept as pets and were also used to hunt along with their owners.
