Yes, indeed, we have limited the Pictures area of our website to only
health-related photos. In the beginning, it was not restricted, but the
amount of space is limited by Smartroups, and we filled it up after a year
or two. Then, there was no space available for people who needed to
upload pictures to help with sick ferret cases presented here on the FHL.

Thus, we now restrict the space to only health-related pics.
Unfortunately, that tends to mean sick ferrets. Photos of special
feeding, med administration, etc, techniques not necessarily featuring a
sick ferret would be OK, though. :)

Incidentally, we have recently reworked our rules a little bit to try to
make them shorter and more easily understood. They can be found in our
Files section, or directly at:
