Be careful with squeaky toys. Latex and rubber are the two most common causes of intestinal and stomach blockages in ferrets. Exposures should only be with constant hands-on supervision. There are few things as bad as experiencing a surgery or even a death that could have been easily prevented. Adding someone of unknown or questionable background? Quarantine and get vet check, titers or vaccines, and ADV testing before even thinking of exposing the other ferrets.
