Hi. I have Marshall Farms ferrets that were automatically neutered &
descented at an extremely young age. But, I've heard opinions that
descenting is mutilation and unnecessary. Does the descent surgery
actually make a ferret smell less? If once a ferret is neutered/spayed,
doesn't most of the scent go away, or is it still heavy? I don't believe
I've ever actually been around a ferret that "poofed", so I just don't
know. I want to know, as I may be considering getting an unaltered ferret,
having it neutered/spayed later, but not descented. Wondered if someone
prefers descented over un-descented? Thanks in advance for a reply.
