Ferrets are no joke, they flank real easily, can confuse the crap out of the hamsters, who are probably slower on their turning radius. Could put some razors on their paws for quick, Wolverine-like *snick snick* action. You would rule the semi-locals instantly... move up to state pretty quick...
Worst case scenario, up armor them with a cardboard papertowel tube. You sacrifice mobility for protection. Even better, some firecrackers and mercury fulminate for reactive armor. That will teach a hamster for trying to run your tube rat through...
hmmm, I'm sure there's a more flexible armor option for a ferret that would maintain the advantage of flexibility while still mantaining protection...maybe something in a lighter weight kevlar?
no doubt on hamster's regretting the day they try to mess with my ferret
Well, considering the individual animal's strength, cardboard wrapped in tinfoil to prevent puncture and laser attacks. But, think of the Roman "Segmata" (spelling), put it on the animal in segments...
Thinking WAYY to far into this!
