Well, up to a few years ago, we didn't think cats got Bordatella infections (kennel cough), and now we know they do. I'm not certain either way, but I suspect that they can and would err on the side of caution as far as quarantine. It does (at least in cats) seem to be a high stress thing, not a routine infection, so you might be pretty safe if the ferret is not stressed.
