I'm thinking about getting a ferret. A friend of mine has a female (sable color) that he no longer has time for and offered her to me. She's 3 years old, and a sweetie even though she's not a cuddle bug. :ohwell:

Are there concerns I should be aware before taking her in? I hear they stink even after they've been descented. :ohwell:

A roommate I had many years ago had them things. They were awful. You couldn't go around without shoes on because they had a foot fetish:ohwell:

A friend of mine had a ferret and she was just like a cat. But she used to get weird (and expensive) skin diseases.

Famous last words from ferret owners (and iguanas too)...

It doesn't bite. :rolleyes:

Crabcake had one when she was a kid. That ba$tard was on a constant "seek & destroy" mission.

I agree with MM.

Memories of having a ferret in college:

All my pens and pencils were stashed under couches.

She used the litterbox (sometimes) ewww.

Good for stealing small change during poker parties (see pens and pencils).

Hysterical to watch when playing with a baloon.

Didn't start attacking feet until Dee brought the cat into the house. For some reason having the dogs around didn't make her aggressive, but the cat did.

When she ran, her back feet went faster than her front feet and so she bounced around the room like crazy.

Should you get one? I don't know what your life is like, but she was alright for me at that point. I wouldn't own one now because of how I live. The kids make enough mess with the help of a ferret.

I LOVE ferrets, but they do stink and crap more than any other animal I've ever owned. Be prepared to constantly be cleaning up poo.

Our ferret used newspapers to do his business, we tried the litter box, but he just thought that was a playground and flung litter all over the place, but never went to the bathroom in it.
