Nothing like sitting down on the shitter and having something carress your anus with a 1 inch long claw.
This excited me in strange and scary ways

I know of this training camp... It's 15 miles east of Fallujah and is run by ex-KJB and Ciladin.

We ran an extensive dive bombing camp out of Harrison's camp for my ferret. She was great at it. We also trained her in the art of great escape (she could get out of her harness like it was nothing). She died before she was even near a year old because she had a bad heart though :(

Btw, the only reason Tempest bit was because she was in pain or scared. When she was comfortable she would sleep in the collar of my shirt all the time Harrison, you know that.

Don't ferrets stink? I heard they have some gland that gets removed but they still have a distinct oder that can be offensive. Any truth to this?

Can be offensive if you don't give it a bath weekly.

The smell is almost non-existent given the baths.

If you bath them too much or too little they will stink to high hell. Once a week is the norm for most ferretts to keep them nice and stink free. If you give them too many baths they will actually smell worse than none at all, because you cause the glands to overwork themselves in order to replace the oils you wash off.

is washing a ferret like trying to wash a cat? or do they like the water?

They get used to the water, after the first few baths most really enjoy it. In fact they love to swim and play. Tempest did not like getting baths because she had a heart problem, so she would get really cold and uncomfortable even in warm water. Every other ferret I know of has LOVED the tub.
