It seems that there is only the one person who is now claiming that it was her friend who had the 20+ ferret, but the friend stopped the shots for her ferret at 11 years old, now this to me rings a bell of disbelieve because if you are into vaccinating your ferrets then why be so irresponsible and leave your ferrets unprotected for another possible 6 to 10 years. The following is from one of the none believers. Insist on documentation of age, [vet records from kitten hood are best] See how many claimants shut up then or suddenly find excuses. "Oh, I got this ferret as an adult and assumed the age of..." "Oh, I confused two ferrets with the same names/similar appearance." "Gee, on the vet papers I see I was confused." "My dad confused an earlier ferret with this one and thought they were the same ferrets." "I transposed a kit date accidentally." "It turned out the client was using the same papers for multiple ferrets when travelling, instead of new ones for different individuals." and others are all paraphrases of things I was told back when I checked widely, and later when I followed up on some older claims. -- The man with a new idea is a crank until other take it up.
