Does anyone know if it's safe for me to handle my ferret while I'm pregnant and clean up after her? DH works all day so it's up to me and she's MINE after all. I know you can't handle cat poop when pregnant. She cannot be given away, I love her too much and she has special needs cause she's deaf. Anyone know?
Oh I'm not worried to have her around the baby (when they come), she's very gentle and has never bitten.
not sure..ask your doc..i would take precautions changing her cage and wash you hands after handeling her...

eta-we got a ferret when i was like 6months w/our first. i changed the litter and played with him, but always washed my hands before and after just in case there was something...we all loved him. he was just a baby when we got him..even my inlaws loved him..he was the best.. but sadly he died about 2yrs later from what we think was a heart attack :( i cried for days. i was heart broken..id love another ferret but my heart isnt ready and we dont have room where we live..lol.
HI! im a 21yr old disposable diapering, CIO attempting, vaxing (but no flu shot), circ'ing, BFing AND FFing, vaginal and c-section birthing, co-sleeping, SAHM to two BOYS and one on the way. i have been fairly happily married since i was 17 to my high school sweetheart who i met when i was 15. yes i am a "teen mom" but i also graduated high school early. so dont tell me im too young because i will tell you your too old!
SORRY FOR ANY TYPOS, IM NAK ALOT!
Im not sure, but I have 2 of them.
My husband takes care of their cage for me, but only because I cant get down and in there daily! I dont handle their poop at all. I feed and play with them though!
