I dont know about keeping them outside because they are very sensitive to
heat but I would never let a ferret have access to a rabbit. I know there
are some exceptions and some people will disagree but I had a giunea pig
killed by a ferret and I think they are in the same family

[Quick note: rabbits are lagomorphs, GPs are caviomorphs -- new world (NW) rodents, and OW rodents are hystricomorphs -- don't trust my spelling since it's been a while... While some individual ferrets have been fine with such critters that luck can't be expected to be near the norm.-- Sukie]
