Question

Share your thoughts about these fuzz nuggets.

Answer 1

I love them! If it wasn't for the $20 000 fine for having one in my area I would get one in a flash.

Answer 2

Love them!  I have 4.  Very personable, people friendly, and always amusing.  I love that they use a litter box and I give them a bath every couple of weeks or so and it cuts down on the musky scent, but even then, it's not that strong.  Watching them play wrestle with each other is a kick.   As far as with kids, my youngest ferret likes to chase my youngest child's feet and try to strip his socks off!  It's a game.  Rexy knows not to even try it with me and changes his way of playing depending on who happens to be in the room.  Smart critters.

Answer 3

I had one growing up and she was lots of fun. You can let them out once they are poty trained and they can run around the house. They always have a musky smell because even after removal of their stink glands it is in their skin forever but they have special shampoos for that. They also steal so make sure all of you jewelry is put away or they will hid it somewhere where you will never find it.

Answer 4

I think Ferrets are adorable, however I have never owned one. Friends have told me in the past and pet store owners that there glands stink and should be removed and that they are very dirty little animals. However if your going to keep the cage up and get one that don't bite like a vampire then go for it! There so cute!! Just hate when they bit omg they can really mess you up! Good luck!

Answer 5

Answer 6

I think their cute, but my mom hates them :)

Answer 7

I absolutely love my ferrets. They are my LIFE! Well...maybe not. But they are a big part of my life. They're the sweetest, most fun little animals. They're hysterical to watch. They're sort of like 'therapy', cause they keep you laughing all day long. They're a little stinky, but I like their scent now!

Answer 8

hate them they smell

Answer 9

I've had ferrets for most of my life. Roughly 20 years. I got my first one on my 8th birthday and fell in love instantly.

They are amazing, intelligent, adorable and funny animals.

I can't imagine not having them, so yeah - I like ferrets =)

Answer 10

I have 2...they are the best pets ever. better than dogs, cats, rats, gerbils, fish, rabbits, on and on and on.

Answer 11

I don't hate them, but I wouldn't own one. Their smell annoys me...

And I'm not one of those, "Oh, it stinks!" people. I've had goats and pigs, trust me, a ferret is NOT that bad, LOL.

Answer 12

Love them. So much fun and very cute.

Answer 13

my personal thoughts on ferrets are that they small really greasy and dirty.

apart from that i suppose there ok. just keep then clean and always wash your hands after woulds

Answer 14

I would love one but my parents think they stink.. so i can't have one but i think it would be alot of fun.

Answer 15

The best pets EVER. They are little stinky thieves, but I wouldn't trade mine for anything. They're just so full of affection, and they have to be the funniest little guys... definitely hard to care for, though. xD

However, I would like to add that they are also the hardest pet to lose. :(
