Hi! This is my first time ever posting. I want to buy a ferret as soon as possible, before it becomes illegal to own one in NC. I have a few questions, though, to ask the seasoned ferret owners here, to make sure I am doing the right thing. 1. Ferrets in Asheville run about 130$ for a baby. Is this reasonable? Is it best to get a baby furry? 2. Would you reccommend a ferret as a pet? 3. Finally, I live in a dorm, therefore I would have to keep my fuzzy(if I get one) incognito. If a ferret is descented, is it feasable that I could keep one in my dorm room without being betrayed in my deception by the "ferret smell"? I fell in love with a precious baby girl ferret at a petstore when I was shopping around, comparing stores and prices. She was so frisky and playful, compared to the other ferrets, which were snoozing. Is this a good sign? I wanted to buy her right then and there, but I know that a pet is not an impulse buy, and that the decision to buy a ferret is alot like deciding to have a childI don't want to commit to buying "my" furry until I can make sure that I can provide her with a good home. So, any advice I can get will be greatly appreciated! Thanks :) P.S.my e-mail is: [log in to unmask] [Posted in FML issue 1547]
