Rumors, they heard bad things and believe them. Like that they bite or stink or poop everywhere.

Yeah, but you can all justify them.

1. They only bite if they feel threatened, going through the biting phase or weren't handled at a young age.

2. Any animal can stink if left un-washed. But ferrets can be bathed 1-2 times a month.

3. If you can potty train a mouse, you can potty train a ferret, haha.

So people should do their research before they point fingers. You seem pretty cool btw ^^

Lol, thanks :) Yeah, i talk to people about ways to potty train, like 1. having a lot of potty boxes available for them to choose from, 2. placing the boxes near doors and corners, 3. putting food or water dishes in places you want to discourage accidents, and 4. putting toys and blankets in the same areas to discourage accidents :) 
i usually discourage bathing because it dries their skin and when their skin is dry they produce more sebaceous oils because their body thinks they need it, and the oil is what makes them musky. But i do bathe mine when they get dirty or have been handled a lot :)
