Since Sweden is one of the few counries without rabies, the rules for
bringing animals are quite hard.  Even though the the regulations have
been easier the last year (when entering the European Union), you have
to expect at least three months in quaranteen.
 
You can have more information if you write to the Swedish Board of
Agriculture, "Jordbruksverket", 551 82 J=F6nk=F6ping, Sweden.
[Moderator's note: no idea what that's supposed to translate to - I think
non US characters in that address fouled things up a bit.  Will correct
in the archives if I ever find out. BIG]
 
(sorry, I don't know any e-mail address)
 
And there is no difference in the ferrets, except that ours are cuter :)
 
(And in some parts of Sweden ferrets are still used for ferreting)
