Ferrets.

I've been wanting one for ages, and I've done more than my fair share of homework, but my mother is still convinced they'll reek and stink up the whole house.

I keep hearing mixed shit. Either the ferrets hardly stink at all with proper cleaning/maintenance, or they stink horribly (poor, uneducated care?).

Input or opinions?

I had two ferrits once.

Only stunk when their cage wasn't cleaned at least once a day.

They all have a smell, no matter what. I think it's just a matter of opinion whether that smell is offensive or not. If you wash their bedding/hammocks regularly, clean up their poop, and don't wash the ferrets too often, they should just have a sort of musky odor. Personally, I think they smell nice and kind of perfumey.

You can't get lazy and let them shit all over the place, and you have to keep their cage clean all the time.
