Jessica asked about sneezing ferrets. Since I'm something of an expert in the field of ferret sneeze-ology, I thought I'd respond. Jessica, ferrets sneeze. It's a fact of life. They eat, they poop, they war-dance... and they sneeze. What you've described is fairly typical ferret sneezing -- a couple each day. Remember that ferret legs are only a couple of inches long -- they're down there in dust that most critters with longer legs don't really notice, and more than that, they stick their faces into places critters without the obsessive curiosity of a ferret would never look. Now, if your girls start sneezing a lot -- say, twenty or thirty times a day, on an ongoing basis -- then you have something to worry about, and should talk to your vet.
