This may just be a very unfortunate turn of events but I don't know if it constitutes neglegience.
Whatever, this is terrible.

how about not waking up until the ferret had eaten the 7th finger? i would imagine after the first bite the baby would be wailing pretty hard, were they never woken up before for a feeding? or how about making sure the door to the baby's room is closed so no pets of any kind could get in, that just seems like common sense for a newborn
ferrets are ugly, nasty critters, but the parents have the sole responsibility in this case
