            I have always thought about getting a pet ferret but I don't know much about them.  Can anyone help me out...do they smell bad, do they bite? can I toilet train them?

                    Ferrets are great pets!  They do need a lot of attention and love.  They are also kind of costly at times -- Surgery, shots, food, cages, etc.  Mine don't smell bad -- but I clean their litterboxes daily.  To minimize smell, don't bathe them.  Bathing them brings out the oils in their coats -- so it's best not to do it often.  I just take all of their hammocks/bedding and throw them in the wash with Dreft Detergent.  They end up smelling like whatever detergent I use.  They are very sweet, and love to play.  My ferrets all use the litterbox..Of course there are times that they miss (on purpose, I'm sure!).
