Those ferret tails really do smell like flowers! I also had read the post where someone said they did. First time I sniffed my 1st ferret tail, I thought, "Boy am I glad no one else is around to see this!" All the tails smelled like the same bunch of flowers. Really fragrent & nice. Now <sigh> I am a hooked ferret tail sniffer. They have the same sweet smell no matter when you sniff them.
