Can't you see they turn blind eyes

Oh before the rush is over

Oh,

I have met him times before
He adores us like the rest
Oh even if we're discovered
Just be sure to wear your best
We will surely make the covers

Owning a ferret is like having a perpetual toddler around.  They're pretty smart, and know how to get into everything.  If you have the time, money and patience, sure.  Otherwise, I wouldn't.

Woo, I'm glad I found this topic :P
I'm a ferret expert so I can help you out tons! :3

Ferrets are very good pets, but they require lots of responsibility.
 Having a pet ferret is like having a dog and a cat combined and they are perfect if you attend school or at work for hours.

If you have any other questions about ferrets you can PM me ^_^ I work at a local shelter in my area.

Make sure you get your ferret from a reputable ferret breeder. Not from a pet store.

If ferrets aren't handled a lot as they grow up, and if they aren't taught not to bite at an early age, they will indeed bite. Hard.

My grandma has two ferrets that they got from a breeder, a brother and sister. They're the sweetest things ever. The girl is shy, and the boy will lick you. He'll sometimes play-bite, but he does it extremely softly so it doesn't hurt.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, my sister used to have a ferret. We got him from a pet store. And he would not only bite you, but he would bite you in the softest spots he could find. Let him crawl up your arm? No way, if you didn't want him to latch down nice and hard on the soft spot where your arm bends.

My sister's ferret bit from the day we got him 'till the day he died. Whenever we held him we had to be careful to keep him away from soft spots because he always targeted those. Granted, I don't think the pet store raised him right. But that's better reason to get one from someone you know has ferret-raising experience.

You must keep them clean and have their scent glands removed, they get smelly  :sick: but they can be really good pets.

Good friend of mine was telling me about  ferrets he had in the past. Was telling me they have sticky paws and like to steal stuff.
