The European rodents are terrified of Ferrets (or actually their genetically darned similar European Polecats) but these American rodents don't know what a ferret is. The rats would run since their Norwegan imports (okay so they're Norway rats but probably not from Norway). We've had mice sneak into our basement where the 'hordes' of ferrets live. One saw me and ran to hide.... thats right under the ferrets! The stupid ferrets just watched - they'd rather play with the mice than eat them. We've just imported some English ferrets - they would know what to do with mice since they are still working rabbit hunters over there. I know some German ferrets that are too fat and lazy to chase mice too. But the German ferrets feel right at home in our Volkswagens! No mice in the EV, thank you. One of these good hunting English ferrets would definitely run the mice out of the ventilation system. Think that one of the smaller girls MIGHT fit... bill killian '93 EV MV '73 Things (3) Ferrets (too many)
