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!

The only thing I know about ferrets from working at the vet is that they smell horrific and they ALWAYS get spleen cancer. But I'm told they are adorable?

Spleen cancer? Yikes. Good thing I'm writing crack and not a deathfic. :P

I've been in contact with exactly one ferret and it smelled very musky but it wasn't too bad.

Thanks!
