April 2 Ferret Day

April 2 Ferret Day


April 2 is Ferret Day; Ferret Day was officially recognized in 2014. The ferret is a much maligned and misunderstood animal, widely believed to be a smelly, quarrelsome, amoral, biting beast.

Ferret Day promotes the true virtues of this cute, cuddly critter and furthers the welfare of ferrets everywhere. Ferret Day seeks to celebrate these remarkable and resilient creatures as well as raise awareness about the standards of welfare, nutrition and care. Ferret Day provides a focus for ferret-lovers to work together and share their passion, as well as educate the wider public about this fine, upstanding member of the weasel family.
The most famous artistic portrayal of a ferret is undoubtedly Leonardo da Vinci’s “Lady with an Ermine” painting that dates back to 1490.
