No bunny else can say they are bonded with a ferret! Twinkie, my bunny, and his brother from another, Svengoolie aka "Goo," have been together for the past five years.

I'm pretty sure Twinkie thinks that Goo is just a funny looking bun. And Goo seems clueless, as well. They groom each other, play together, and snooze together.

I even had to join their two cages together with a bridge/tunnel so they could be with each other 24/7. Luckily no one ever told these two that they are NOT supposed to get along together. Ferrets actually used to hunt rabbits.

I also put a one minute video of the two of them playing on YouTube. It has almost 16,000 views, probably because it is the only video on the platform that actually shows a bunny playing with a ferret!
Thankfully ignorance is bliss for these two BFF's, best furiends forever.
