I'm not really looking for a ferret, I mean maybe someday in the future. Right now I think it may be wise to wait until I move out due to the house space issues. We have a dog too right now and even though I doubt if Chi will be much trouble, my parents won't like me getting another pet. So I will consider getting rats in the future but right now probably just want to stick to volunteering at shelters. Though every one has been very helpful, I have new concept of a rat.
