Hi--
 
The greatest danger to your ferrets is distemper an airborne virus that can
be picked up anywhere.  It is almost always fatal, and if a ferret lives,
it is probably disabled for life.
 
Rabies helps protect your ferret in the rate event it nips someone or
actaully comes in contact with a rabid animal.
 
Shots arent' that much and are for the protection of the health of your
ferret.
