NEVER NEVER NEVER!!!

I would never own a ferret. They are cute and when purchased as a pet deserve adequate care as any other animal, but I wouldn't take on that responsibility. They STINK. I cared for my fair share when I worked for a pet shop and vowed to never make the mistake of purchasing one. To me, their urine has twice the amonia odor of cats. If you do get one though, give it the care it deserves.
