Hello.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether or not ferrets can catch the human (Mycoplasma)pneumonia. The research I've done indicates that it's contagious amoungst humans through prolonged close contact. There's a chance I may have this, and want to take whatever precautions necessary to avoid infecting my girls.

Thanks in advance,
Suzanne
