So I want to get a ferret(or ferrets) but my mom has a thing about odors, do they really smell badly? I read that they're decented.
Yes.
Yes, I used to have ferrets. They smell like piss.
Yes, they do smell pretty bad

Mine got caught in the heater vent and his carcass is probably still in there
Yes. Though they are cute, we used to have a snow white one when we lived it Texas. wub;

You can buy them de-scented with their anal glands removed.
I used to have two, so my thoughts are worth something:
Yeah, a little. The whole room they're in will have a faint smell, at best, and if you don't keep their cage in order, it'll be worse... and right next to the cage you'll smell them. It's not really a bad smell, and actually if the cage is clean all the time they might not really smell much at all.
I wouldn't recommend getting them if you have any sort of social life; they demand a very large amount of attention and need to be out and about/played with constantly. Also, the cage cleaning is troublesome.
And you have to get at least 2, so that's something to think about.
I think they smell pretty bad
But they are cool. I kinda want one or 2, they are so high-strung

FERRET FREAK
Yeah, kind of speaks for itself. psyduck;
Where the psychological shift from FerretFreak to Snorkel came, I'm not sure.
