Ferret owners please read?

General
Okay so Pros and I went to the pet store yesterday and just fell in love with this young female ferret they had there. Unlike most pet stores, the guy working there actually cared about the animals, knew what he was talking about, and how to take care of them so she was a snuggley little thing instead of a vicious biting mess like I've seen in too many stores.
We're pretty interested in getting her, but we'd like to hear the opinions/stories of other owners, and any tips or specific points we should know. [We'll be researching about them as well, just figured I'd ask for first hand knowledge from anyone here too.]

xD me, mitsu, and bourbon have 3 little lovelies
but yea you aer going to have to clean there cages a lot
Make sure there food doesnt have any corn brand or any short of corn product in it because its bad for the little babies
if you have any questions, you can always ask Mitsu because she knows a shit loads about ferrets :3
The biggest downside are the health issues. Once your ferret turns 3 or 4, you'll start to see them, and you'll need to be prepared to shell out a lot of money to care for them. I've already dropped several hundred to treat adrenal tumors. Tumors are very common in ferrets, especially in girls.
Most ferret foods actually can kill them, so you really have to watch what you feed them. The totally ferret brand is the best for them, though it runs about $20 for a 4lb bag.
Though honestly, the care is worth it since they're just the most fun pets ever, and they really love their owners. They usually end up bonding to you really nicely.
