When I first got my ferrets I brought them in to my normal pet vet because they said they can handle them. I knew I was in trouble when the lady was scared to hold the little buggers for fear of being nipped. This is the same lady that cares for gigantic Danes and has scratches all over her hands and arms from cats.
