my sister has a ferret and loves it.
however, they do have to be let out every day for a couple of hours. Plus they smell. Not horrifically, but it's noticeable. You'll get used to it but you'll notice it when you go out and come back again. Other people will also notice it. Having said that, it's probably no worse than dog smell.

They're a really fun pet though, they're like kittens, they just play all the time.

ooh we should pitch it to Noel as part of his Walking for Wellness thing
playing with cute little animals is very calming.

We just need a name.
