I can understand your dilemna completely! There are so many
misconceptions about ferrets! A few years ago when I wanted to a
ferret I wasn't sure what to do. My landlord lives below me so I knew
I couldn't keep it a secret, but I was afraid to ask permission and be
told no. So I asked if I could get "a small cage pet like a guinea pig
or something". She said yes and I got a ferret. A year later I got a
second and told her after. Six months later I got a third and really
didn't want to mention it. A few days after a surprise visit from a
plumber when all three fuzzgals were running around I decided to mention
my third addition. Last time she saw me carrying my three fuzz gals off
on a visit she called them cherubs!! (-:
