Not exactly true. They do have a particular odor, but so does any animal. I have to practically put my nose to my ferret to smell it's musk. If your ferret is de-scented and neutered/spayed, they smell *far* less. There's also food you can feed them, to make their poop smell less, and conditioning sprays you can use on their to mask the slight musk.
Many people come into the store where I work, and say that no matter how much they bathe their ferret, it still smells. There's a simple reason for this. Bathing him more often than once a month or so will remove oils from their skin and fur, which can make them smell MORE (and give them skin problems).
A ferret can go a very long time without being bathed, provided he doesn't get into anything disgusting. Some people wash their ferret only twice a year.
Remember, Ferrets *are* related to skunks, and unless you get them de-scented, they can actually spray you (though not as badly as a skunk).
Also, this is Bruce, my Fert. I previously posted this pic of him when I got him last week.
