tsteve9999 456 Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 i know it's not possible for a ferret to transfer mixy directly to rabbits, but was wondering if I ferreted a burrow with mixy'd rabbits and the ferret picked up fleas, would it not then drop a few of those fleas if I did another warren in another area and infect that one?

cragman 2,892 Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 I suppose it would be possible, if you ferret a clean area straight after an infected one. But fleas will travel around in various ways...on other animals that prey or live around the infected rabbit, ie, foxes, birds, rabbits of course, dogs and cats and probably rats. I control the rabbits on a local farm that has had myxi. There's hardly a rabbit on there now but only yards away is another spot I do and it's crawling with them and they all seemed well enough this morning when I walked through.
