Strange coincidence time... We just had a litter with the sire being "Fat
Elvis the Las Vegas Years" and the mother a jill named Sig who happens to
come from Sweden... Lars who responded was our source for Sig.

Your vet is nuts... Well about the smell part anyway.  Six pounds isn't too
big for a ferret.  Elvis mentioned above was 7 pounds at 7 months.  They
shrink down again after that.  Especially if you keep them whole to go into
rut.
 
The little girls can end up whumping up on the boys that outweigh them even
by that much.
