I used to have one. A good friend of mine has him now. They are cool little things to have around, I just didn't have the time for him back them, but I wouldn't mind having another one.

We had two little guys for a while.. They were awesome.. Loved watching them do their little happy ferret jumpy dance every time we let them out of their cage. Only things I didnt like was the smell, and all the noise they make when they want attention. Ended up giving them to a good friend because I didnt have the time for them.
Overall, they are pretty good pets.

I have 3. To be honest I don't have time for them but one is a rescue and he would have to go to a very good home. I don't want to see him going back to what he had before. That is the only reason I still have them. As for the smell, the more you bathe them, the more they smell. The bath makes more oil which is what smells. Just keep there cage clean and wash there bedding. The musk smell on them will die down after awhile without a bath. They are like cats and will clean themselves.

They make excellent mousers...and taste like chicken!!
(just kidding about the chicken part...they're a little more gamey than that)

I agree with D. The more you bath them, the more they smell. I don't bathe mine, and they don't smell much at all. Another thing. Don't cover the bottom of their cage with bedding amterial. This holds in the smell also. I just give mine a iltter box, which they use, and some of those little pouches for ferrets to sleep in on the upper levels. They are smart animals, I have 2, and they both come when you call them by name. I love these guys, next to snakes, best pets I ever had. Oh yeah, they love to go outside, I have peashes and harnesses, and a cloth bag made for them that goes around my shoulder. Whne they get tired, they go in the bag and sleep for awhile [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

I have five. They really shouldn't get baths more than once a month or so. They have pretty sensitive skin and it will dry out and give them itchy spots. Not to mention, it will encourage the production of skin oils like others said and it can make them smell worse. Good diet, clean sleeping area, and a clean potty area will go MUCH further to make them smell better.
They are a riot though. When all five of them get to going my cats just give them a wide berth. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

Natas used to have 2 ferrets (Princess and Zoe), they were adorable! Stinky and cute! They were hilarious - they would run sideways up the stairs. Be careful, they can get in tight little spaces, and they also hide stuff from you, IE keys, etc.
They are a fun little pet to have a round!
