Stephanie,
I have been told by a friend of mine who lives in Australia (born and
bred) the following info on ferrets:
1. they are legal there; but
2. do not try to import them. The quarantine laws are very strict, and
it would be a minimum of three months before they would give you back
your fuzzies. Alas, I am not sure what you can do...I would not want to
leave my children in quarantine for that long. Even 3 weeks would be
too long!
I suggest you search for a pen pal on the internet from Australia to find
out even more info. I hope this helps.
