If ferrets can catch human flu bugs does that mean ferrets can carry aids as
well?  I know that might sound stupid but I was just wondering.  Would aids
mutate in a ferret like it did in humans?  I wonder if that could cause a
new strain of the disease itself.
 
I don't know much about aids so correct me if I'm wrong at all here.
