Regarding the mixing of descented and non-descented ferrets: Of my two ferrets, one is and one isn't. I wasn't able to take the time to slowly introduce my two beacuse there was only one carrier and a 1.5 hour car ride home (which actually turned into a whole afternoon. They have always gotten along. There was a bit of a power play the first couple of days but they seemed to adjust quickly. The only problem I saw was that Chloe enjoyed dragging Sabrina around like a cave woman. But he still does this and Sabrina doesn't seem to mind. 2nd subject: Taking care of our pets after we are gone: In last monthh's issue of "In Style" magazine there was a huge article about how you could pamper your pets Hollywood style.
