Hi Cathie
 
If you go to this website, it shows blood being taken from the side of a
ferret's rear leg.

I hope that helps you.
 
My boy recently had blood taken from his jugular -- he was anaethetised
for the procedure and was a little groggy but fine by the time I took him
home in the afternoon.
 
Cheers
