Ferrets need distemper and rabies shots annually.  Canine distemper is a
highly contagious, deadly disease; ferrets can get it just from being where
an infected animal has been.  The only reason not to give a rabies shot is
if an allergic reaction nearly causes a ferret to die; those instances are
rare.
 
Please get your fuzzies to the vet for their shots asap.
