Just a word of caution ... I have an electric stove, too, and discovered
that my one ferret (Cal) was digging away at the fiberglass insulation
around the oven! I opened the drawer to find it full of fiberglass debris.:(
I had to wash all the ferrets, vacuum the kitchen, drawer and the rugs in
the house (because they'd been running back and forth) AND change the
bedding. Then I wiped out the drawer and washed all the pots and pans
(because fiberglass is *really nasty*). I had to change my clothes and take
a shower, and even so my arms and legs were bright red from the fiberglass!
I cleaned out the ferrets ears carefully, too, as I noticed that one was
scratching his ears frantically. :(
So even if it doesn't have a pilot light, be careful. None of the other
ferrets I've ever owned (in 10 years) has done this. What a mess!
