I have a question that I hope someone can help with.  My family and I are
getting ready to make a BIG move next week, and I would like to know how
others have dealt with moving with the fuzzies.  We currently have 3
carpet sharks, and they all get along really well, most of the time.  My
question is, we are moving from West Virginia to Florida, and the drive
is quite long.  Almost 16 hours.  Has anyone done a move like this, and
if so, how have your ferrets done?  We have a carrier for them, equipped
with litter pan, water bottle, and food dish.  We are only taking a Uhaul
for this move, leaving our car behind.  We are putting the carrier with
us in the cab of the Uhaul, and are wondering how often we might need
to stop and let them out, and whether or not we might encounter some
un-friendly ferret places along the way.  Anyone with advice, etc.
can respond to us privately at [log in to unmask], or
[log in to unmask], or reply to the FML.  Thank you in advance for
all replies.
 
Amanda, and the 3 'I didn't leave the poo there!' (Ozzy), "Who?  Me?',
(Harriet), and "What?  Never seen a carpet shark who can scale just about
anything to get what they want?' (Jerry) (Jerry was just added to our
family about 3 weeks ago, he had never been to a vet and the family could
no longer keep him due to they had moved into an apartment that would not
allow him.  We bought him, yes, bought him, cage and all for $75.  He is
slowly gaining weight, and has been to the vet for his shots.  He only
weighed 1 lb.  2 oz.  when we took him in.  Not sure what his weight is
now, but he is gaining, and having a ball!  The ironic thing in this
story is, we bought our first fert from a pet store in July 01, when we
picked up Jerry, and got his health cert., we found out that he had also
arrived in that shipment to the pet store.  (Going by the dates on the
health cert.  which for Ozzy and Jerry are the same one.) We were glad
that we were able to take him in at the time, even though we are in the
process of moving.......who can say no to an adorable fuzzy face?)
 
Sorry this post is so long!!!!!!
