I'm deaf and I think that deaf ferrets should be given opportunity to learn ASL. I had a deaf friend that refused to teach her deaf ferret ASL. You can imagine how frustrating it is for deaf ferrets to be left out of hearing world.
We had a deaf ferret when our kids were young! I loved that guy, but he never really learned to sign.
He responded to foot stomps and the most basic gestures, but never attained fluency.
For the OP, the ferret was deaf due to Waardenburg and used no assistive technology. He was very happy and emotionally stable.
