    Assuming you’re not just trying to be cheeky, I think it’s safe to assume they meant relative to the average pet.

      What average pet is low maintenance and doesn’t make a mess?

        I didn’t say the average pet was either of those things. What I basically said was that they probably meant when compared to the average pet, ferrets are much more maintenance and less sanitary than usual.

          I found having a ferret was slightly easier than having a cat in terms of maintenance. I don’t understand why they would be any less sanitary, they can be litterbox trained.
