Aww, cute! Is Oscar training for the Kitty UFC? Get that mouse!! 
Actually ours don't smell bad. 'Uku was nicknamed "Stinky" for a few weeks when my roommates first brought him home (the ferrets at the pet store always smell pretty bad for some reason) but with a clean ferret condo, clean blankets, good food, and a super-girly hygiene regimen (monthly bath + regular ear-cleaning + cucumber melon conditioner spray + brushing/vacuuming) he smells pretty good now. Towards the end of the month the boys do smell a little -- they have a discernible but not unpleasant corn-chip smell -- but they never smell bad like the ones at the pet store do. :thumbup:

Ferrets rock. Too bad they smell.![]()
