Ooh yes, another Yorky!!! Nice to meet you, Nightshade

I adore my ferrets but they are very addictive so be warned! I started off with 2 that I got from a rescue and have 10 now!! They do make terrific pets - very intelligent, affectionate and so very amusing (and naughty!), they have me in hysterics at times. I could tell you loads of amusing stories about the antics of my lot. They are just as susceptible to illness as any other pet really, but they can catch (and give) the human flu virus so I tend to be careful about handling them if I have a cold/flu. Many health problems in ferrets can be prevented by common sense and correct care. I would recommend them as pets.
