Hi fellow Newbie,

I am in the uk and have had all my ferrets vaccinated against distemper. The vaccine is not licensed for ferret use in the uk but many vets advice is to have them done. I got mine done as I take them to all kinds of country fairs (they are public relation ferrets lol) and come into contact often with dogs. If you are going to be taking them out for walks then there is a strong possibility they will come across what dogs leave behind (lol). The choice is yours to make none of mine showed any side effects but as we know all ferrets are individuals I felt the risk was worth it. If you decide to go ahead its lucky you have 2 as the vaccine is a sealed vial of which only half is used per ferret so its the same price for 2 as it is for 1. Time out for nipping is a great method we have used it in the past its even better if the 'naughty' fuzzy' can see others having fun whilst he is in 'jail'. Happy times ahead for you and your guys
