Though some may see this as a feud between people, the concerns are still valid. Let's not lose sight of that. The fact is that ADV could be transmitted via bedding. If someone refuses to provide documentation of their ADV status, you should be leery about purchasing from them. Most people will provide ADV testing papers proudly. Those who won't are suspect. Whether I like the person is not the issue. It is my job to see that my ferrets are kept safe and disease free, as much as I possibly can. They are depending on me to do that. So, why would I buy bedding from someone who refuses to provide their ADV status?? That's the bottom line. I don't sell bedding, but if I did I would have my ADV results scanned into my computer, and provide them to anyone who asked. Katharine [Posted in FML issue 4706]
