Other stupid question

[loves2travel]

what does it mean if you say a ferret is descented?

 

[bunnyluv17]

it means their scent glands have been surgically removed, usually done at the same time that they are spayed/neutered. If you get a ferret, you definitely want a descented one.

why? do the normal ones smell a lot? lol.

it would be nice if we could "descent" piggy poop, wouldnt it?

 

[bunnyluv17]

since they are related to skunks I would imagine so. Even descented ones have an odor

[loves2travel]

well, perhaps the ferrets you smelled were descented. i believe the ones at petstores are.

I wanted a ferret soo bad last year. Until I saw their poops. It reminded me of a cat. Then it struck me, I didn't want any more cats, so why would I want something that has similar poops?!!!? And plus I realized that ferrets and cats don't get along which would totally not work out for me.
Then for a while I wanted a sugar glider, until I realized how much time it took to care for them. So I just stuck with guinea pigs. Waaayyy easier!
