Ferrets CAN carry salmonella.  Salmonella is not restricted to reptiles,
birds, or rodents.  Kittens, hedgehogs, ducklings, as well as reptiles,
birds and HUMANS can carry salmonella.... I think you'd be hard-pressed
to name an animal that does NOT have that *risk*.

I think *you* need to check out information before you impress yourself
with how you "blew her head off" with a quick rebuttal.
 
>At least read up before posting junk like that!!!!
 
Yes, great idea...
