No, no no no no no no no no no no no. That's the votes from our 12 ferts. I'm so very sorry that your parents have problems with the 'odor', but moving them to the outdoors, with high temps, and all of the other dangers that poses is not fair to your babies that look to you for comfort and safety. Please try to find a ferret shelter near you, or a ferret person that could take your ferrets in before subjecting them to that kind of a move. They would not understand why they were being treated that way, and if you truly love your ferrets, then do what is kind and loving for them, even if it means giving them up. Perhaps when you no longer live with your parents, and can afford a place of your own, then you could again have some fuzzy companions. Just place yourself in their paws, please.
