Dear Simon:

No, they cannot catch chicken pox. However, other primates, such as
monkeys and apes can, and they can be life-threatening. But your
ferrets are fine.

What parameters are you using to diagnose kidney disease? (You may
want to also check the FHL archive, as we have discussed this topic
before...)

With kindest regards,
