No. Rabits are herbivores meaning they eat only fruit and vegetables. Ferrets are the complete opposite. They are carnivores and should only be fed meat or meat based products. Feeding them foods such as fruit, vegetables, grains or dairy products can cause digestive upsets or in severe cases intestinal blockages which may require surgical treatment.

Do ferrets eat bunnies?
First Answer: Ferrets don't eat rabbits. Most rabbits are too big for them to consume. A different answer: Actually, ferrets and all weasels do attack, kill, and eat rabbits. Their method is to jump on the rabbit's back, where the rabbit can't defend themselves; they grip on to the rabbit's neck with their teeth until the rabbit loses strength and dies. Ferrets also kill and eat baby rabbits. In the home, it's very unlikely that a rabbit-ferret friendship will develop; oddly enough, it's much more likely that a rabbit will get along with a pet cat or dog!
