In reply to driving thru the no-no state as clipped below: >Friends will be driving from Washington State to Mexico later this year >and would like to hear of the experience of others, especially such >things as hassle free routes to take upon entering California. My concern would be if your friends are going to attempt to cross into Mexico and back? I believe ferrets are legal in Mexico, however a friend of mine did find a law somewhere in Tijuana that seemed to make them illegal, but I don't have hard proof on that one. Coming back across would be a serious issue, especially if coming back thru California. The authorities in this area (San Diego) are well aware of Ferrets Anonymous and that ferrets are illegal, and I wouldn't want to see anyone endanger their ferret by trying to cross back into California. I would highly suggest if this is a short trip, that they find a ferret sitter out of state and not risk possible confiscation while in CA. Chris K.
