I too have been presented with weasels from people thinking they were ferrets (even a possum once :-). My vet has recommended against keeping them in the same building as my domestic ferrets because of the unknown types of diseases (viruses?) they may carry. I've yet to find a wild life rehaber in this area who knows how to care for weasels. Does anyone know if there is or is not any danger to our ferrets from parasites, viruses, bacteria that weasels may carry? (I'm not suggesting direct contact.)
