Hi all! To the person who wrote claiming that ferrets everywhere will be killed if someone reports a bite, I must say that I believe this is not true! Someone had posted awhile back policies on this in different areas. Most stsated that they would look at the ferret's history (rabies shot, indoor pet, etc..) and then decide. In NC, this does not matter! The ONLY advantage to getting my totally indoor ferrets rabies vaccinated would be so that a bitten person would be less likely to bring up a case. My ferrets don't bite. Therefore, I don't see a point in giving them the rabies vaccine. (I know some people will get upset upom hearing this). They have distemper & that's all they'll get. I think the vet was very honest with me (she wasn't just out to get money) and Harold & Scooter really liked her. On a lighter note, Scooter has decided that he's going to take over my recycling job! His recent project has been to taks cans & bottles out of the recycling bin and into his hiding place. This was cute to watch but then I just died when he grabbed a gallon milk bottle & proceeded to drag it across the apartment! Poor thing had so much trouble! Brian became upset when he saw Scooter's uncompleted project all over the living room floor so he put the bin in an (he thought) out-of-reach place. Scooter's new project is to climb to the bin so he can start helping me recycle again. Poor Brian, the kids always outsmart him!
