Squid Forums Junkie Location: Canberra Registered: August 2003	Re: My Ferrets... Wed, 15 December 2004 02:43 Thanks for the compliments!! Seeing as someone bought up ferrets smelling, time for a rant! Ferret Society of Canberra De-Scenting For many years now in the US and UK ferrets have been undergoing the drastic surgical procedure of having their scent glands removed and many books still refer to the surgical practice known as de-scenting. This is mostly due to the fact that there is a general misconception that the anal glands are responsible for a ferret's body odor. This is not true! Better education and more un-descented ferrets are proving by experience that de-sexing is all that is needed to reduce a ferret's body odor. Ferret welfare societies and clubs classify de-scenting as cosmetic surgery and a large number of vets will now only perform the surgery for medical reasons, such as blocked glands. Ferrets will generally only use the glands when scared or threatened, so de-scenting only removes the ferret's greatest defense against larger predators. We do not support de-scenting unless there is a medical reason to do so. It is an unnecessary surgical procedure. [Report message to a moderator]
