Ferrets have glands behind their ears that can produce distinct odor. Ferrets purchased from the pet stores are usually de-scented however those small odor glands behind their ears are not removed. Ferrets do need their ears cleaned about every two weeks, a build up of wax in the ear can cause a smell Some ferrets may also need to have their teeth cleaned, odors from the mouth may indicate a gum or teeth infection

Can female ferrets be kept together?

They can get along, but they don't get along as well as two male ferrets. Female ferrets, after they get spayed, are much more territorial than before they get spayed.
