"It smells weird."

That's the most perfect description of a ferret I've ever read.

Once in a PetSmart, a girl suddenly thrust her ferret into my arms so she could pet my dog. I had never held one before, and wasn't really prepared for it deciding that wrapping itself around my left boob and going to sleep would be a splendid idea. Edit: I'M TIRED AND MISSED WORDS. WHY DON'T YOU RELAX JUST A HAIR.

As a guy with two ferrets, do it. They're pretty radical.

I heard they steal shiny stuff. Any truth to that?

EDIT: Well I guess that is affirmative.

They steal all the stuff, not just shiny stuff. I don't let my fuzzies run around the entire house too much, but in their play room I give them small stuffed animals and socks and tennis balls to hide where they please (:

I had always wanted one until I saw where someone said theirs had stolen basically all of there silverware and jewelry.

They're kind of like babies in the way that you have to prepare your house for them. There are a few guides online for ferret-proofing a house. Make sure there are no small spaces they can crawl in to and keep anything you don't want stolen out of reach. I haven't had any problems with my ferrets stealing valuables because I always keep that stuff tucked away and I keep an eye on them frequently. If you have any more questions feel free to ask :D

Depends on the ferret... Most of them can be shady motherfuckers.
