I am resending my original question as I am still unclear as to the
length of quarantine.
 
I am considering getting a girlfriend for CB but have some questions on
the quarantine period necessary before I introduce the new one.  Whoever
comes to live with us will come from a shelter (so if you're near CT and
have a little albino or light colored lady let me know)!  And I've
forgotten how long the quarantine period is.
 
When CB came to live with us he did bring a "gift" with him that resulted
in Butch and Maggie being hospitalized for 3 full days in the ferret
equivalent of ICU.  Where do I quarantine the newbie and for how long?
 
I would think that the new ferret in the apartment left in the bath room
would still spread the illness through the air and they would still get
it.  Can someone explain the whole thing to me again since I guess I
don't fully understand it.  Since I would want CB to pick out his new
friend don't I run the r isk of exposure bringing him up there to make
his selection?
 
Thanks for you r help!
 
Connie, Butch, Maggie, and CB (someone just for me, my girlfriend)!
