Its not much of a problem I just really need an emotional support ferret because of my anxiety as a germaphobe and I get sick a lot because of my hernia (in my stomach) so I want something small and cuddly so hold when this happens. My mother thinks its a waste of money and I will be honest, they do cost a lot.. but I have a dog that sheds a lot and she increases anxiety every time I touch her.. she doesn't help when I feel bad she just runs away and bites me.. so I would like enough for a ferret and  the stuff needed.. And this pandemic has definitely given everyone and me atleast a little PTSD.. I can't even touch family that lives with me and come home afterwork and if I do I vomit because of the thought.
