    35 years ago I purchased 2 ferrits with no idea how to care for them, and they smelled bad, now 35 years later, I know alit more and so desperately want to have this animal as a working service animal, as I discovered threw a friend’s ferrit, my shaking almost stops, my heart doesn’t race, and I don’t freak out t thinking everyone is staring right at me, my friends ferrit (snowball) is the greatest little guy, so smart, he thinks he is human, recently had to put my dog to rest after 15 years with me, adopted from a pound at 1 yrs old.
    I truly want to have the ferrit.
