Research applications
Ferrets have contributed to a variety of medical disciplines as research animals. Although the American Veterinary Medical Association formally urged against the ownership of ferrets as pets, they acknowledged their usage in research. The practice has stood for decades; Laboratory Animal Science, a research journal, dedicated an entire issue to the usage of ferrets in biomedical research in 1985. James G. Fox attributes this to the widespread commercial availability of ferrets, with researchers able to request individuals of a prescribed sex, weight and age. The physiology and anatomy of ferrets is comparable enough to humans that research can offer scientists insight into human physiology.
