Hi A parent dropped by today to ask if we would like him to bring in his ferret to show the children. He had it on him and it looked really rather sweet! I am in two minds. On the one hand this is parent partnership in action, we live in a rural area and this is a way of life, part of our culture one might say. On the other hand there may be a risk a child could get bitten unless I specifically stipulate not touching. I would love to hear your opinions.
