It is a natural instinct from before ferrets were domesticated they would kill more prey than they could consume and would store the rest for later. The scientific name for ferret "Mustela putorius furo", The "furo" comes from the Latin furonem, which means thief. The name "ferret" is derived from the Latin furittus, meaning "little thief", a likely reference to the common ferret penchant for secreting away small items == == What do ferrets like to steal? Every ferret is different. Some fixate on certain objects to steal. I had one that like to steal tomatoes out the fridge to hide. Some like to steal shiny things - like keys, some like remote controls (i think because of the rubber buttons), some like to steal socks How do you train a ferret to steal? You don't have to; they are built for it. How do you keep your ferret from stealing things? To keep a ferret from stealing, either remove or keep them away from that area, or put the objects out of reach. Ferrets hide things as part of their natural instinct.
