O.k.  You asked for it! :-)  Here's my opinion and we ALL know what that's
worth!  Actually, it's a story.
 
I bought my first ferret not knowing a ferret from a hole in the ground.
I put a collar with a bell on it just like the nice people at the pet store
told me to.  When I woke up on day two, she was struggling with it around
her bottom jaw and was hung up pretty tight.  I got it cut off and have
NEVER put a collar on her or any ferrets since.  I felt so bad.  Heck, I
still get sick at my tummy thinking about it.  I do know that you have to
collar them sometimes to walk them on a leash if you don't use a harness,
but that's all I would suggest.
 
Heck, they sleep so much and the only time they are moving around is when I
play with them, I just don't see the need for the collar.  Especially since
they never go out.
 
Anyway - there it is, my opinion!  :-)
