Hi I emailed early about the licking/biting ferret, who it turns out is not a boy but a girl...the pet store was very wrong although not surprised since they seemed incompotent when I bought her. Anyway, my question is on a different subject. I know that ferrets can catch the human flu but what abuot the common cold. I am beginning to worry since my roommate just caught a cold and I am pretty sure I will catch it from her. I handle the ferret for hours daily and I don't want her getting sick. I am going home this weekend for my brother's birthday and if there is a chance that she could sick i would think about leaving her home with my mom who loves her and calls herself "grandma" to the ferret. So any advice would be much appreciated....thank you Kelly [Posted in FML issue 4646]
