One of the reasons we don't consider Critters to be a definitive or even accurate resource sometimes. Best guess of the vets I've talked about is that they are not susceptible. I believe its USED to thought they were. Same story with Feline Distemper. >From: Becca Simpson <[log in to unmask]> >Subject: Cages and falling in them Knowing the age of your kits.
