Hi Heather- adn FML readers! WHOA! Heateher i actually chortled at your epost! Takes a lot to do that these days--- GOOD NEWS IN NH AS of May 24th! :) NO ferrets may be LAWFULLY sold in NH under the age of 8 weeks. A victory at this point in law only we now have the challenge of enforcing it. PLEASE DO! report underage kits to the Director - NH Dept of Agriculture - Animal Industry in Concord, NH. Please have the location of the infraction - date viewed, conditions, and name of any clerk or worker you spoke with. Be prepared to forward the complaint in writing as well. It will take a while but we are working on a dental aging guide that Ferret Wise WILL distribute to all 670 NH vets and to all NH licensed shelters and to ALL NH pets stores. Unfortunately Peter Reid of Marshall's was interviewed by a NH paper and stated they never ship ferrets under the age of 8 weeks. So we now are surrmounting this campaign to illustrate the correct age of ferrets which arrive in petstores! This is the only way we can try to teach that industry is selling underage kits w/o conscience. Please support the shelter's efforts in this education and humane project! On to wild NH ferrets -- Well I have seen mink, weasels and we get our share or ermine too -- but no, I have yet to find a wild ferret in NH. I guess I have been looking under the wrong rock or tree! What is this students address? - perhaps I should write and send along some ferrety information! :) Back to the shelter chores-- Heather you have got a project on your hands- but I am happy to help!
