However unlikely, there are confirmed cases of ferrets with rabies.  I have
about 20 pages of various reports from one confirmed case here in Florida
two summers ago.
 
I would love to see their site and their take on the subject, but you didn't
mention the URL.  I suppose it will be relatively easy to find.
 
For the ferrets,
Mike

FML never got properly sorted (the index was sorted but the digest wasn't!)
it wasn't obvious.  The site is http://www.avma.org/care4pets/ppetexot.htm
Sorry for sorting mix-up.  BIG]
