Response in English: Ferrets and rats are small mammals that are commonly kept as pets but they have some striking differences.One of the main differences between them is their physical appearance. While ferrets are long and slim with a small sharp snout, rats have rounder bodies and blunt snouts. Ferrets are also larger than rats; they can grow up to 20 inches long and weigh up to four pounds, whereas rats can grow up to 10 inches long and weigh a maximum of two pounds.Ferrets are carnivorous animals that require a diet high in protein and fat, while rats are omnivorous and require a diet that consists of a wide variety of foods, including grains, fruits, vegetables, and small amounts of animal protein. In terms of energy levels, ferrets are high-energy animals that need at least four hours of playtime and exercise each day while rats are known to be more laid back and require less time for exercise.In terms of their behaviour as pets, ferrets are known to be very active, curious and intelligent animals. They enjoy playing and exploring their surroundings and can be trained to do tricks. On the other hand, rats are generally more docile, and while they are known to be intelligent and able to learn tricks, they are often happy to simply spend time with their owners.Lifespan is another notable difference between ferrets and rats. Ferrets have a lifespan of 5-8 years, while rats have a shorter lifespan of 2-3 years. Ferrets also require more specialized veterinary care, as they are susceptible to certain health issues.In summary, ferrets and rats have many differences in terms of their physical traits, dietary needs, energy levels and behaviour as pets. While ferrets tend to be more active, larger and require more care, rats are more laid back, smaller, and have less specialized needs. .
