Weil's Disease: I want to use ferrets to bolt rats from the underside of chicken huts on our farm.
Should I get the ferrets inoculated against leptospirosis – Weil’s Disease – beforehand, or is it a waste of time?
WEIL’S DISEASE
Edward Cook
Any protection you can give ferrets to prevent them falling foul of Weil’s Disease has got to be money well spent.
If you rely on ferrets to either provide you with sport, or in my case pest control, then you should look after them 100% of the time.
Anything less and you are not worthy of keeping such pocket-sized warriors!
Nothing is fool proof of course, and sometimes inoculations don’t always work… but if you think anything of your ferrets then it’s got to be worth doing.
