ulverston moocher 60 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Ther is a jab to help prevent canine distemper but I know a couple of people that have had it done and it has started the ferret off with distemper and they have lost ferrets through this so I wouldn't bother like has been said good vieried meat/ or if you have to kibble diet fresh clean water and good housing and loads of handling and you can't go wrong mate Quote Link to post
