I purchased a ferret from a store some months ago.  She's almost 5 months
old now and wheezes a lot.  She's been like that since I got her and my
vet doesn't think it's anything serious.  Could the way she was housed --
the dreaded glass tank -- be what is causing the problem?  I never even
thought of that... Besides the wheezing she is the most hyper fert in the
business and quite healthy.  Will that go away?
