Ferrets are actually very smart little critters. I considered getting one when we moved out of CA but found out that despite being cute they are very destructive. You pretty much have to have a ferret-proof room for their daily exercise sessions.

Another strike against them - they STINK. I don't care what anyone says, these little critters smell horrible. Yuck!

My family LOVES that smell.
Ours were descented from the get-go, so the smell is marginal.
You do notice more of the musky odor right after they use the litter box (the scent glands are supposed to impart their scent on their poop), but after a while I think they smell great.

Agreed. I had a friend who was a ferret owner. Even with the scent gland removed (whatever it’s called) the animal had an aroma.

Plus it was a mean SOB.
