Ferrets are exotic? They’re actually completely domesticated and easy to take care of. They’re also a great combination of playful and low maintenance (especially when you have two and they can play with each other). I recommend them highly to anyone who doesn’t have much of a sense of smell.
I had one for a while and he seemed pretty happy, but I think he was even happier later with a friend. I think if you’re getting a ferret for the first time, you’re better off getting just one because it’s easier to re-home one rather than two if ferrets turn out not to be the right pet for you, but if you like the ferret then you might want to get a second one.
Ferrets are not completely domesticated, and are indeed classified as exotic. It’s extremely difficult to insure them (in many plaves impossible), it’s primarily exotic specialized vets that can help with them, and though they are extremely friendly and fun, they are at best “half” domesticated. They are also banned in many countries and states.
Source: I have four ferrets and love them, but I also know exactly how putting your hand near a young ferret plays out every single time, and it takes months of training to get them to stop wanting to draw blood <3

I actually really wanted a ferret but I was advised that you should get more than one so that they have each other for company.
