Okay so I've always really loved and wanted a ferret, but of course there are a lot of things I need to know.

1. How much on average does it cost to remove their stink sacks?

2. How much on average does it cost to actually but the pet itself?

3. Should I buy one or more?

4. What is the best age to get them?

5. Are there different breeds (if so what kind)?

6. I hear they're really really good at escaping. Since I have guinea pigs and a cat, it would be really bad for the ferret to escape. If I get a good cage, would it probably not escape? I'm home alone  most every day all day, but when I am gone it's usually from about 7am- 6pm so it could be anywhere by the time i got home if it did escape.

7. Are they generally pretty friendly? I had one playfully biting one in a shop today, but it was really young so do their teeth get sharper as they get older?

8. I know it's a long shot for someone to know this offhand and I'll probably have to research it, but can ferrets be certified as emotional support animals?

9. Food, treats, bedding, and toys?

Any other thing you could tell me would be super helpful and appreciated. Thank you very very much :)
