Poodles Actually Ferrets In Steroids (VIDEO)

What a trick! An Argentinian man told a local TV station that he paid $150 per poodle only to find out that the poodles were actually ferrets. He found out about it when he brought the animals to the vet. He was told the ferrets were “given steroids at birth to increase their size and then had some extra grooming to make their coats resemble a fluffy toy poodle.”

The man purchased the animals at La Salada, Argentina’s largest bazaar.
