(Not that it has to be constant, but still way more than say, a cat.) While we do give our carpet sharks a good amount of free time, I'd personally feel guilty working full time with only one ferret being cooped up by it's lonesome all day, especially since the one is so young. The extra ferret helps keep the baby in line and I feel better about them having a companion around during the day. It'd be different if my boyfriend and I were working different shifts and someone was home during the day.

Just my preference as well, I trust your judgement as an experienced keeper.
I see what you mean, there's no harm in recommending it. I am probably different from the majority because I -want- a pet that needs my attention, and seeing as I'm not a people person I choose to spend most of my free time with the critters.
