need help identifying a species

[midwest_98]

I was at a reptile expo last month and was speaking to one of the smaller vendor on a animal he had. It was very similar to a ferret in size and body shape. It does not shed or put off and dander i remember. They bond with there owner and are very clingy. His kept crawling in his inner coat pocket, so cute. He said it was a jinx, genx, jinks, genks (unsure exact spelling). I cant seem to find anything on google or any kind of searches. I know they range from around 1500.00 from what he said. I know my description is quite vague but any assistance is appreciated

Maybe a Sugar Glider? Although I don't think they look like a ferret at all. Just throwing a suggestion out there.

Thanks Dr Del! Genet is what it was!


He was very unique animal.

Haha glad it wasn't a mink. I hear they make terrible pets. That genet is cute though!

I wana look into them more and maybe see about getting one. Im highly allergic to most cats and these lil guys have no pet dander and dont shed.
