As a youngster in a rural area of  England in the 1940-50s, ferrets were kept by many people for rabbiting, a lot of them must have escaped, but I have never heard of them forming feral populations. This was in an area where weasels and stoats were extremely common.

 

The following article on polecats being encouraged in the UK may be of interest to some readers http://homepage.ntlworld.com/ferreter/polecats.htm
