I had a ferret as a kid that I named Gandolf and he was without a doubt one of the best pets I ever had. Now I have two ferrets, Master Shake and Hatter (as in, the Mad) and they are a riot! They are just so friendly and playful, so curious and mischevious. I can’t imagine better furry friends. But be warned, they like to nab stuff. I busted a cache of stolen objects under the couch last week, and found my Ipod in their cage yesterday, along with some quartz crystals and the DVD remote. Go figure.
