PREFACE: The warning on spoilers freaked me out so I'll just always click it to be sure.
REVIEW: First of all, a live animal is NEVER a good or even appropriate gift. Part of what creates the bond is selecting your own companion.
Secondly, as a ferret-mom for several years now, I was horrified when Turk said this: "Don't forget to tell 'em that the ferret only eats fresh vegetables." If anyone fed a ferret "only...fresh vegetables" the ferret would die in less than half a year. Ferrets are obligate carnivores and have a really hard time digesting vegetables. Without meat/protein, they will deteriorate incredibly fast and then die.
DISCLAIMER: I love this show so much! This is really the only problem I have with it. Most people aren't dumb enough to take their parenting advice from a TV show, but because some are, this could be a dangerous quote.
