It's possible, ferrets can contract some of the same diseases as cats or dogs. Make sure your pet is up to date on all vaccinations and treat for fleas. Use precautions the same as dog or cats. Wash hands after handling animals, avoid handling litter trays, try to avoid animal bites or scratches. Avoid having animals around a baby, and never leave any animal unattended or unsupervised around children. Be aware that ferrets can contract human influenza, humans with flu need to avoid handling ferrets, and vise verse.
