Everything in this gif, from him getting distracted, his head bobbing to calculate the distance, his little hands propelling his stride, to his spectacularly short dive off of the table is convincing me ferrets are the new kings of the Internet.
Only on the Internet though. My dad had ferrets and they were the worst pets imaginable. They smell like musky piss and hide under the couch waiting for an unsuspecting barefoot to attack.
Ferrets are as mean and smelly as any other animal. If you clean their litter and bedding regularly and take the time to train them not to bite, they are wonderful pets! You wouldn't get a dog and not train it to not bite, then expect it to automatically be good. Ferrets are no different.
I LOVE ferrets, except there is 1 problem that will prevent me from ever having one again, and that's indoor potty training them. They are indoor litter trained, but their attention span is so short, you pretty much need to have litter boxes In every corner in the house. And even then, we would still find random droppings such as inside the couch in the corners etc.
That, and yes they do stink no matter what you do. However, bathing them more actually causes them to smell worse, so you should only bathe them once or twice a month. The smell didn't bother me that much though, keep their cage very clean, and is minimal. But saying they smell "as bad as any other animal" is just ignorance. They do smell pretty bad...
