Badgers take considerable care over their grooming and scent plays an important part in the social hierarchy too. Adults set scent on each other and on cubs - in this way a composite smell characteristic of the whole community can create the smell of the group. This smell will be different from that of neighboring groups and helps recognition of friends and strangers.
What is the description and colors of a black footed ferret?
Black-footed Ferrets are about 45 cm long (18-24 inches long including the tail), with a furry 15-cm (6 in) tail, and they weigh roughly 1 kg (about 2 lbs) with males slightly larger than females. Like most members of the family, they are very low to the ground with an elongated body and very short legs. Their fur is white at the base but darkens at the tips, making them appear yellowish-brown overall, with black feet and tail-tip, and a distinctive black face mask which makes them blend in well with the prairie ecosystem in which they live.

Ferret collars are not necessary, but with a bell they are useful when out of their cage to locate them. If you use collars make sure it is a breakaway collar like used on cats. They can go places it could easily get caught on. Sometimes it hard to keep one on a ferret, you need to have it at the right length so as not to choke them, but where it won't slip off.

Animals used for fur suffer more than you would imagine. There are many ways to obtain fur, the main ways being fur farms, trapping and the Chinese. I separate the Chinese because in the streets of China many homeless dogs and cats are taken (even some out of yards) and then skinned alive. Fur farms and trappers at LEAST try to kill them ahead of time although that effort is not always successful.
