It depends on how you treat the ferrets.
But ferrets are also known to be pets, nice ones too!
So they aren't that dangerous if you be nice to them though they get nervouse and bite you sometimes (Or if they think your hand is a toy)
But as you get along with the ferrets, then you'll be fine
Now I'm talking about how clean a ferret is?
Ferrets are messy creatures (But don't count that as Germs)
They can make a big mess everywhere (They are playful)
But when a ferret is sick, its not sick because its a dirty creature,
But the environment that the ferret is living made it sick
And it's not their fault
Its (Usually) us!
Castrating gives them a high chance of Adrenal disease (Castrating means doing something so it cant have baby)
If a person is sick, and feeds the ferrets (Or something)
this will past the sickness to the ferrets!
So, ferrets are safe after all, but remember, the behaviour and safety really depends on YOU! (How you treat them, where you put them, how you care them)
