I liked this interpretation page's view:
https://exemplore.com/dreams/Rat-Dre...nterpretations
When I read where they said:
Quote:
Rat dreams can also suggest that we are fearful of not being accepted. Just like the detested rat, you may be fearful that you will be outcast. We all want to feel love and feel that we belong and if we don't, this can trigger bad dreams.

but, for you, I was thinking since they were acting like pets, maybe they are trying to tell you you are accepted and belong?
But I agree with them that your own feelings and what else is going on in the dream, how you felt about them in the dream (and outside) and your personal circumstances are most important. What "new" different activities were you doing that day/recently? New thoughts?
I would think the ferret is just there to "ferret out" the truth/information

Help you feel you can understand the dream.
