sort of like a small wolverine/bear thinks anything is food untill it knows better whatever the size
personality like a cross between dog and cat, cats playfulness with dog type loyalty
realistically a cat could take one to pieces eventually but they would be so much grief the cat wont bother

And are they happy on their own?

normally a fiver or so
large rabbit hutch not ideal a run is better say 12 by 2 by 2 filled with toys pipes etc with a sleeping area one end
most cats will aviod them cos they are too hard to take on
they are better in pairs or more they get less bored and play together

Few months ago I was walking down to the local shop to put lottery on, a kid approached me and said to me do you want a ferret before he threw it into my arms and did a runner. Took me ages to find him to give it back, seemed quite tame had a collar round its neck and like a lead. I would’ve kept it but cat is a vicious lil ****** n would’ve had a go at it.

Plus I want some chip monks when I got some where to put them

ummm well i already have 2 cats. Their pretty laid back, dont get too het up over other cats in the garden. so i dont think their cause a problem, just go and hide upstairs if didnt like it.
I'd want to keep it outside though, in the garden on the patio. but thought a largest rabbit hutch with a run bit might be ok as off the ground. i know they need exercise so would bring it in the house everynight, walk and stuff. Def wouldnt want two. i read that they are ok on own, just sleep loads!
