They are interesting. They have them at all the pet stores in Texas, and several of my son's friends have them. They're fun to pick up and look at and talk to. I cannot understand why they're outlawed in California.

Thanks for the info about the musk gland, Billion. I figured it was something like a scent gland someplace. Figure I'll do without adding one of them to my menagerie anytime soon. Have enough trouble with butt-related scents just living with a husband. . . .
