a bit whiffey for in the house get a couple of Guiney pigs. friendly and cleanI've read they should have the glands removed which get rid of most of the smell and yes they was going to live in the house...might have to rethink this.
Handling from a young age is a must and I think then they are no problem although I suppose, like everything else, you will always get a mad one that will be aggressive.
That may be the key, mine were bought as adults and thought nothing of biting, one of them would have given a pit bull a run for its money yet allowed my girlfriend to handle it...probably some mental history from the previous owner.

Used to lift share with a girl that kept ferrets. The ferret smell was always on her clothes, rank. I ended up getting the train to work for a while so I had an excuse to not lift share any more without having to explain she smelt weird.
Ours was a garden shed meshed out and filled with tubes etcI had a couple for hunting years ago. They do pong as they have musk glands, even though they kept themselves spotlessly clean.
The trick with ferrets is get them young and handle them a lot, no biting then. When they do bite, its no joke, if they really mean it they can be ferocious.
I have seen some fantastic hutches and runs made up for not much money, one was made up from a big packing crate with a run of drain pipes for them to play in.
