  • I have a daughter who is very allergic to cats (She busts out in hives all over her little bod :( ) and my wife and myself were looking into getting a ferret and I was wondering if she would be allergic to ferret since she is allergic to cats. Awsome video :D Thanks for posting it!

  • Actually each ferret is different as far as their scent glands go. I had one perticular ferret who released his smell everytime he played with y other ferrets. So pretty much everyday. He never bit or played to ruff. Really its not rare. To each his own lol. As far as biting, ive noticed a lot of bitters in pet stores rather than homes of breeders ive met. I think that just boils down to daily handling like with any pet.

  • @Zaymeel ANY ferret can be trained. I got mine from a pet shop and she attacked both myself and the clerk in the store. She was so vicious that I could not release her from her cage without wearing long pants and boots and handling her with heavy-duty work gloves. She bit one friend so badly he needed stitches. She bit me several times on the hand in places that caused blood to spurt three feet away. But you know what? I trained her and she stopped biting altogether before 6 months old.

  • @FoxJLee i was just about to comment something along these lines .. in the uk it is illegal my three hobs still have their scent glands and it is very very rare that they do release their scent glands

  • You cant not smile when you see a ferret. Its a scientific fact.

  • Descenting ferrets makes very /little/ difference since they only scent when scared or over-excited. Saying that they /do/ stink unless descented is misleading, and supports a procedure that is unecessary (in expense for the owner, and unpleasantness for the ferret) and is illegal in some countries.

    Ferrets have a distinct odour, but so does any mammal. Keeping the bedding/litter clean, without over-cleaning the pet, is the real "solution" to ferret smell, just like it is to dog or cat smell.

  • i have a ferret.and he does not bite at all.in fact he has never bit anyone or anything.he is the coolest weasel.on the planet.and he is about 4 years old.he will be leaving me in a couple of years.because they have an average lifespan of about 5 to 7 years.i will miss him so much.

  • Thank you. That was helpful :)

  • My ferret never smelled and I never gave him a bath. Nobody ever smells him do unlike some people I say #2 is a right

  • i like myth number 8 :)
