1st time post for a new lurker.  My name is Jeff, and I am a california
ferret owner.  (hi jeff).  Seriously, what a great forum for ferrets and
those owned by them.  I am deeply touched by Skeeter welcoming the new
arrivals at the rainbow bridge, as I have lost five fuzzies, three within
the last 13 months...and empathize with each 'passing' post.
 
As for those moving/moved to CA, I have obtained six of seven of my crew
from rescuers (Bless Them) within the state.  All ferret-specific items are
purchased at local stores, using credit cards over a four year period, and
so far no gestapo at the door.  I have not had one bad instance, but have
also not volunteered too much info either.
 
Any vet worthy of the title will see ferrets, but not many locally (Palms
Springs-ish) have any real knowledge of them, as they're illegal, doh.
 
To the Lady near Victorville: I obtained two fuzzies from Lucerne Valley,
so rest in the knowledge you are not alone.
 
Aren't Ferrets Great?
