Hi Folks,
You have been so informative and helpful before, I hope you can help me
now.  I received a call today from an aquantance.  She asked me if I wanted
to take in another a ferret.  Her son woke up one morning after sleeping in
a type of treehouse,with the ferret on his chest sleeping.  They searched
for the owner and found them just a couple of streets down, but they didn't
want her back.  The aquaintance didn't remember any names, so I can't
contact them.  I just took my sister in laws ferret a couple of months ago
and she has worked out great.  My boys love their new sister.  Of course I
said I would take her.  When I picked her up she had fleas and earmites.
I can handle that.  What I was hoping to find out are two things.  First,
her color is new to me.  She is brown and white, with white feet and a wide
white stripe down her head between her ears.  What color is she known as?
And second, I have read about a certain amount of quarantine.  I didn't
quarantine my sister in laws because I had her medical history and she was
very healthy.  This little girl seems healthy but I'm concerned about my
other kids.  Can anyone tell me know how long I need to quarantine.  All
my kids are healthy and don't want to put them at risk.
 
Thank you in advance.  Lisa and her boys and girl.
