Poor babies.  I went to the site to have a look.  I have a question,
however.
 
At the site you mention that 2 of the ferrets have tested positive for
ADV and one was seperated to another location.  Why was one moved and not
the other one?  And since all the ferrets roamed free together, pooped on
each other, and had urine burns (of which could have been urine of other
ferrets) - why was the one ferret seperated (whom was stated to love
other ferrets and it was felt bad to seperate him)?  I don't understand.
ALL of those ferrets were exposed to ADV if 2 tested positive and they
roamed and pooped together.  Why seperate him and cause him more anxiety?
 
I really hope that these kids can get turned around and find permanent
loving homes.  It is horrible that another "shelter" could let it come
to this.
