Bunny... Ferrets are really expensive they are like 200$ to buy and their cages are about 200$ the food is 20$ a bag Plus a bunny would like to be with you more my ferret only wants to run around when he's out. where as my bunny likes to sit on me and stays still LOL... My ferret is a nut job! I'm not trying to deter you from getting a ferret I just know they are very expensive and require a lot of energy LOL not that a bunny doesn't they are just easier to care for. Good luck!! Lops are nice I also like Lionheads... I have a dwarf bunny and I've had both I don't think dwarfs are as friendly as others although thats my opinion... They both are smelly I would say a ferret is more though, you need to get your ferret desented most places do this before you buy, but soem don't. Also some places ferrets are illegal so check into that.. For kids I think a bunny would be good also cuz it would liked to be held more then a ferret would...... This is only my opinion, They are both great pets and I love my ferret and my rabbit just the same!

GOOD LUCK HOPE I HELPED
