Every few years someone is FOOLISH (there is no good way to put it with this being the gentlest way I know) enough to allow a ferret to roam freely in a moving vehicle and winds up in an accident. Now, ferrets are NOT the only free-roaming animals to cause car crashes, but I have read of too many accidents like this through the years which could have been completely prevented just by the very simple measure of using a carry cage. <http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/Surprise-Pet-Ferret-Cited-in-Rollover-Crash-Near-Cedar-Rapids-101293774.html> Sukie (not a vet) Recommended ferret health links: http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/ferrethealth/ http://ferrethealth.org/archive/ http://www.afip.org/ferrets/index.html http://www.miamiferret.org/ http://www.ferrethealth.msu.edu/ http://www.ferretcongress.org/ http://www.trifl.org/index.shtml http://homepage.mac.com/sukie/sukiesferretlinks.html all ferret topics: http://listserv.ferretmailinglist.org/archives/ferret-search.html "All hail the procrastinators for they shall rule the world tomorrow."
