Are Ferrets a good pet?

Question

I was looking up ferrets and they seem really cute and now i want one.

I heard they have shap teeth will it bite me?

Answer 1

no trust me my brother had one and they smell and they bite!!!!!

Answer 2

They sometimes bite but they learn when you shriek when they bite too hard. They are a LOT of fun but they have a strong odor and you MUST cleanout the cage weekly or more often or the entire house will stink.

Answer 3

I've been around my friend's ferret and I've had a ferret of my own. My friend's never really bit at all. Mine would nibble on my feet and stuff, but he never meant to hurt and it usually didn't. But occasionally it would hurt a little, but nothing unbearable. Just think of a puppy. That's how they are. You can teach them not to bite. They are very cool animals. Very fun to play with. Think of them like a permanent puppy sort of. Except the problem is their smell. You need to be willing to clean its cage daily or else their smell becomes horrible. That was the only downfall to having my little guy. Even with a clean cage, ferrets are just stinky little guys.

Answer 4

I had a ferret it never bit me, they do kinda stink though.

They are very cute and they make good pets if you have the time to play with them.

Answer 5

yes they do like to nibble but they are fun to have

Answer 6

Just keep in mind that they smell really bad...  

Answer 7

great pets. They bite when they are babies but it dosen't hurt much. My little sister didn't even cry when it bit her. They grow out of it if you yell at them. They smell horrible. You get used to it though. They are super funny. When they run, half the time they can't see where they're going cuz they have bad eyesight. And htey end up running into walls. They p**p a lot. They eat and drink every 3-4 hours. which means they p**p a lot too. But I recomend them cuz they are super great pets. No matter what, the entire house smells. But we keep ours in our garage. Our garage has like installation and c**p so it's fine.

Answer 8

baby ferrets are a little bitie, but if you train them not to bite, then they won't!

Answer 9

nto if you buy baby that has been handled... and you continue handling it... some might bite but generally they adapt pretty good... at least the one we had did. we prefer golden retrievers.
