Ferrets' tails smell like grape jelly and their bodies smell like tortilla chips.
 

It's true. Never mind how I found out. Go smell your own ferret.


Is this proof of God's existence?

Wash your fucking hands. As a former ferret owner, who bathed the squirmy little fuckers at least once a month (any more and you can damage the hair from the removal of natural oils), I can tell you that they smell of musk, which isn't that different than urine, feces, and rotten corpses combined.

Why the hell were you sniffing under a ferret's tail? :thumbsup

Ew! nah, just the end of it.

Because I read that it smelled like grape jelly, and I didn't believe it.

Ferrets smell like shit, and they shit in every corner they can find.

Not to mention they like to hide all your shit.

You must have gotten defective ferrets. These guys have a strong odor, but it's not really unpleasant.

I put newspapers in every corner. No problem.

They sleep like 20 hours a day and when they're out, they're hilarious.
Here they are playing on the air mattress in my office.

I had ferrets and loved them to death

It was the never ending shit that got me to finally sell them because all they pretty much do is shit.

I got tired of people coming over and saying " when was the last time you cleaned the litter" and giving me a funny look when I replied " yesterday "

this thread is very borderline weird.

My ferret Elmo had to be put to sleep cause of a urinary tract problem. :( That was about 10 years ago or so now.

Yeah, it's not good to skip a day. ;)

My Sugar Glider stinks like a sweaty gym socks even right after you give him a bath and clean his cage. But since he can bark like a dog and when he gets pissed he sounds like a demonic squirrel, he's ok in MY BOOK (dum dum dUUUUUUUUM!)

ferrets are the shiznit! Even if you get their glands removed they still are rather stinky but they're so damn fun!

Feed one a few fruit loops after it wakes up for a good 2 solid hours of insanity! lol

Awww, great video! Made me miss my ferrets who died a while back... a champagne and a sable as well.

sometimes shorty (one of my boston terriers) smells like corn chips. its better than smelling doggy.

are you serious, ive never smelt a ferrets tail before... :1orglaugh

It's true. I didn't believe it myself, but it is.

Best way to describe a Ferret's smell would be as "foul."

Mine is chewing on my foot as I type.
He's got his own room so all the shit he does is in there, clean it twice a day.

Bath him once a month, if you stick you face right into his neck and sniff you can smell musk, but it's not strong, dogs smell worse.

They are mad bastards who will steal anything they can find, and mine loves to eat towels but apart from that pretty well behaved.
