Wwe are planning a trip from Denver to Tampa in November. We're
flying Continental, and my wife just called them up to find out
if we could take our weasels along.  The person she spoke to
said that thay cannot take ferrets either in the cabin or in
baggage.  She claimed that this is because the FAA has classified
ferrets as rodents, and no commercial ariline will allow ferrets
on board!
 
Obviously, this is not true.  Does anyone have any advice on how
to get Continental straightened out?  (We can't use another airline
for this trip because my wife's parents bought us the tickets on a
bargain deal and they're not refundable.)
 
Thanks,
   Kurt, Debbie and the family ferrets
