Jacci, That is not true. I spoke with my vet about this and while ferrets can carry toxoplasmosis, they do not shed it like cats do. I also verified that with my OB as I too am pregnant, and she said she's had that question come up before and called vets about it and that what I had been told was true, so no worries, and no getting out of ferret potty box duty, just cat potty box duty, LOL. Hope this info helps. Jen http://www.babyhomepages.net/manlapazbaby http://jenandarchie.tripod.com [Posted in FML issue 5312]
