It is a shame that you do hear mostly of bad results in introducing new
ferrets.
I guess I am one of the lucky ones. I have 9 ferrets as of recent. Of
course, I keep saying I will not add another, but...
I have been very fortunate that from purchasing my first ones and then
rescuing the last 4 I have not had "any" problems with disease or illness
of any kind. I was not even aware at the first introductions of the
potential of any disease, I did not subscribe to the FML or nor was I an
active member of our shelter yet. I have been "very" lucky. I now know
some of the precautions to take and did do so with my last recent addition.
I just thought I had to respond to that unfortunate remark that so little
do we hear of the good things.
I do believe it is a good thing to get Mikey a playmate, but that is
entirely up to your household abilities, etc.
Dona and my now 9 babies: Ollie, Zoe, Caesar, Roxie, Luke, Zeke, Panda
Boy, Sadie & Moe
