My son had a ferret named Pyro, we had him for 6 years. (He died this past summer
)
He was so sweet, he had a huge condo he kept him in. He was let out to run around but we had to keep Bailey on a leash or in another room when he was out. I was afraid she would hurt him...when she was let back in the room he was in, she would actually do a tracking grid pattern on the floor....good nose.
She would lay by his cage and watch him and he would tease her by throwing a ball around in his cage...lol...Our son was devastated by his passing. They are very cute but do have a strong scent.
