So...we keep ferrets.
After the initial surprise, the general reply is "Ewww, don't they smell, bite and do you put them down your trousers?"
Ferrets make great pets and I hope to show that ferrets are fun and to break down the terrible image they have.
By the way...we don't put them down our trousers and we aren't that wierd!

However, I still had many unanswered questions which didn't seem to have complete answers. Also how do you keep ferrets in the UK - I knew it would be different.
