Actually, just like with human babies, its a good idea to have your guests
wash their hands BEFORE they handle your fuzzies.  You may want to remind
your guests that ferrets can catch common colds very easily and to please
wash their hands if they want to handle your fuzzies.  I am more certain of
where my fuzzies have been than my company's hands;-)
 
best wishes,
