because when you flush it is disgusting.  Nasty water sprays your whole bathroom, then you walk in it and smear it all over your home. I make it a rule to always put lid down and take off your nasty shoes when entering my home.

Ferrets are a wonderful pet. I have had several in the last 15 yrs. They play until the day they pass, eat very little, do not climb curtains or tear up your furniture, don't bark, don't have to be walked, can be litter trained or you can train for poop pads, don't jump on counters (but might figure out a way to get there), they each have a unique personality. I have had 60 and they had all been different. Yes, I foster ferrets, that is why I have had so many. I take in discarded, abandoned and sick ferrets. Have loved each and everyone of them to the limit. Once you have had a ferret it will not be the same without one.

I work with an Animal Shelter that is a nonprofit organization. Before ferrets are adopted we have them all see a vet. They get their distemper shot, are rehabilitated in private homes. We never adopt out biters (ferrets are not born biters, people make them that way). We recently had a gentleman adopt a little boy and too late it was found that his body was full of tumors, he passed, but we are giving him 2 to ease the pain of losing, Houdini. Yes, their are unscrupulous shelters out there but please don't put us all in that category. As for the little cages, mine never see the inside of a cage unless we are going to the vet.
