Ok, ferret experts... The only reason I can think of to descent my future ferrets is to prevent them from "poofing" when they are scared or hurt. Since I don't intend to hurt or scare them (but could see it happening at the vet) I don't see the need to have one more unnessesary surgery for my conveniance. So how nessesary is it? How much will they stink without it? Isn't the general ferret odor that ferrets have orignating in glands other then their anal glands? Do ferrets get impacted anal glands?
