Hard to tell.  It is best to be prepared for problems.
 
But how often do you need to write in and ask for help with your healthy
well behaved ferrets?
 
Most are healthy and at least reasonably well behaved.

Michael W Fox has no credibility with us.  He is a Peta bigwig.
 
Both of those books are what is called yellow journalism.  Neither should
be considered at all authoritative.
 
There are problems in industry - we are very much against the whole

other side as well.
