RE Legal States for Ferrets:  Some of the responders have addressed this issue
correctly, but not completely:  Ferrets are currently illegal in Calif., Utah,
Hawaii, Mass, Michigan (bill passed House; pending in  Senate), Beau assures
me that New Hampshire is also illegal.   Major illegal cities include (but not
limited to) Washington DC,  New York City, and Baltimore City.  Specific
counties also ban ferrets in Ohio, Texas, and elsewhere.  Most military bases
ban ferrets (although loads of military personnel own them).  Check the local
statutes before moving!   For more information on legalization of ferrets,
contact Madeline Lowery, Chair, Committee on Legislative Affairs, American
Ferret Association (AFA P.O. Box 3986  Frederick, Maryland 21701-3986). Dr.
Hoffman/VP  American Ferret Association

Hawaii does not "ban" ferrets in the truest sense of the word.  The quarantine
period for ANY mammal is 6 months and most individuals can not afford the
boarding fee.  Same with England and most island countries.  But you can take
your ferret to Germany with no problem!
