tinyE: I always wanted a ferret. I wonder how they'd manage in this climate.
KiNgBrAdLeY7: Beware of those devils. I hear they bite a lot and they cause some bleeding sometimes... Plus, they are expensive and high cost maintenance pet... I wouldn't want your precious, delicate fingers damaged, i want them intact!
They are a bastardization between two species, or so i hear. Nothing good ever came out of such unions, i tell you...
Pfft, I never had or seen a ferret with a biting problem. They are generally a fairly friendly animal.
The real horror is the smell, especially since you can only bathe them once a month. They do require a lot of maintenance, and they also require a specialist vet (which I didn't know with my first ferret until it was too late and I was driving 3 hours in worry).
I don't have ferrets anymore, mostly because I decided to rescue pitbulls instead. :p
