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.
