Hi Fellow Ferret Friends, We do foster care and also run a ferret shelter. We have never had any problems doing both until recently as the mother of the 14 year old we are caring for insists that #1 ferrets are disease carrying animals and pose an health risk to her daughter, #2 they are dangerous. As a policy we never let anyone including foster children into our ferret room, and they can only pet the fuzzie while we hold it. We keep records on all of our guys and all are current on both distemper and rabies shots. This mom is not satisfied that we have passed a state inspection. Our state inspector has asked for paperwork to get mom off of his back and ours. Would appreciate any support we could get. Thanks!!!!! Mike and Denise Orlowski [Posted in FML issue 2546]
