Descenting is a myth. Descenting doesn't do anything to change a ferret's usual smell, it only affects the scent they let off when they're freaked out. Kinda like skunks do.

I really don't find them smelly, and I spend most of my time in the same room as their cage. Just give em a bath every few weeks, change the towels and litter every week, and you're fine. Some people just really don't like that "musty" natural odor they have.

They're neat animals, but expect the work that a puppy takes, not that you're getting something akin to a hamster.
