Does anyone own a pet ferret?

[ratherastory]

Okay, flist, I know it's a weird question, but it's for SCIENCE!

Anyone out there with a ferret who'd be willing to chat with me about ferret habits/mannerisms/behaviours and the ins and outs of having a ferret as a pet?

Thanks in advance!

I have some friends with ferrets.

Mostly they, well, ferret. They like to look inside things and under things. They can startle the hell out of you trying to climb up your leg. You need to watch out and not step on them, and they're sociable, but, like most small animals, can be intimidated by humans.

And whatever you do, don't let them in your sock drawer. (Ginger built herself a nest out of like 50 socks.)

Any other questions, PM me.
