Absolutely Confused..need advice from all - 12/08/13 03:24 AM
Hello,
I have been reading everything on this forum. Trying to get ready for our 2 new babies we want to get after Christmas and New Years is over. I have to tell you I am so horribly overwhelmed and confused about one issue..marking and smell. This is the only thing giving me fits. I have talked to several on here and some have told me they are very smelly. Some say neutered males and females are about the same on smell. Some have said females are a lot less smell and less marking. I have read cage bars get terribly sticky from pee. That their cages smell horrible. I own two ferrets and I will tell you no one can believe it when they come in our house. But I keep bedding and hammocks changed and litter boxes cleaned. Ferrets do not run loose btw. But ferrets don't go on you when you hold them or go all over their cage (ours are litter trained) I realize you can not litter train a sugar glider and they are a complete different animal. My point was just I am not a priss butt that can't handle cleaning a cage or smell. I just have gotten really worried about some of the peeing all over and smell being so horrible. Peeing and popping all over you when they are on you.
They will be in our main living space so this is a concern. I just need to know if I am over analyzing or what. Help me with this one issue. My brain is so tired..lol.
