Habitat loss as a result of agriculture and overhunting the Prairie Dogs has limited the Ferret's food supply.

This was coordinated with several state and federal wildlife agencies and zoos.

They especially didn't know how to raise them in captivity while maintaining their abilities to survive in the wild. Another conflict is trying to sustain habitats for both the Ferret's and Prairie Dogs to survive.
