I have microchipped all of mine, and quite a few others. The ferrets have
not seemed to mind it - none were done under anesthesia, and usually their
noses were stuck in a puddle of Ferretone, and they couldn't have cared
less about getting the chip implanted. I have seen no problems from the
chip - either in ferrets or in other animals.
As far as types of chips - most of them nowadays are readable by any
reader, so that's not as much of a problem as it used to be. Personally I
use the AVID chip, and have been pleased with the company's database and
support when animals have been located - my clinic got a call last year
about a dog that we'd chipped who was found running down a street in Las
Vegas. We're in Pennysylvania.
