Selling what Argentinians call a “Brazilian rat” — a ferret given steroids
at birth to increase its size and then groomed — isn’t a rare occurrence.
But this particular story, aired in June 2012, apparently confirmed the

The victim paid $150 per poodle, Yahoo! News reports. Another woman told the
Buenos Aires station that she was tricked into buying what she thought was a
Chihuahua — but that was also a ferret.
It’s unclear where the enhanced ferrets are today.
