Kept them in my younger days when I was rabbiting, good fun to work with but not exactly a good pet, not the cleanest of animals, they all ways remind me of a girl i went out with.

I have two albinos, and we had a polecat until she died last summer.

They make great pets - v rewarding. They are actually quite clean - they can be litter trained. Also not all that smelly as long as you change their blankets regularly and give em a bath every few weeks.

Aww I miss them :(

you can usually get them for free they dont cost alot to keep, though you have to be prepared to spend time with them & handle them regular. they make great pets

I can just imagine a southerner perusing the Internet, stumbling across Sheffield Forum, seeing this thread, and thinking "Northerners! I knew it..."

Long live stereotypes! :D
