I just want to comment on this subject. Ferrets CAN be certified as therapy animals to go into classrooms and nursing homes! They can get their certification thru PAWSforfriendshipinc.org How do I know all of this for sure? Because I have them, and am the first to have them! They are not for personal use, they go into classrooms and teach the children about ferrets, they go into nursing homes and do therapy work such as touching/petting with the residents and other type of things there. DELTA will not certify ferrets but PAWS does! Again, it is not for personal use though. Hugs, Nancy Sevier and her Fuzzie Friends!!!
