And from what I've heard, most of them are never completely tame...you still have to watch out so you don't get bitten.

Seems like I just heard recently of a pet ferret attacking a kid or something--did I see that on FR or was that somewhere else?

I didn't see it, but could be. Maybe search on "ferret"?

Out of curiosity, how long did you lurk on FR before jumping in? For me it was at least a year...and then I was afraid to post for awhile after that.
