Smell, what smell? Oh that endearingly stinky and addictive ferret scent? Yes, ferrets do have an odor. Controllable, but there. (oh, and their poop smells quite a bit too!) But they are great pets for the right owners. Check out www.4lilpaws.org and click on 'owner's manual'. Fun to read and very informative. Dooks Risa [Posted in FML issue 4746]
