alright well i asked a question about ferrets about a week ago and did some reserach and decided for my current situation rats would be a better decision for a pet. I don't really have enough money to spend on an elaborate setup for ferrets and they seem to need a lot of attention, so i guess i'll hold off on them til im done with school and have my own place. (I'd really like some more snakes but my mom won't have that for sure) Anyways rats seem like they will fit my lifestyle so i bought a cage setup and everything and im getting a pair of rats next week! im excited of course! just thought i'd share
