Hi, I am new to FML and have recently moved so I am in need of either travel information with ferrets or advice on finding a local ferret-sitter. I know that there is information in the archives about flying with ferrets but I couldn't find anything post 9/11 and am a little apprehensive about smuggling a ferret. My dillema is that I need to get from Baltimore to Chicago around the holidays, I have called most of the airlines that fly out of BWI and they don't accept ferrets. ATA which flys out of Reagan will accept ferrets, however, I thought ferrets were illegal in DC. Will that pose some sort of problem if I try to fly out of and into DC with my ferret? Alternatively, I was thinking of looking for someone that could come and feed my ferret while I am away (10 days) but I am new to the area, Baltimore, and don't know how to go about finding a sitter that has experience with ferrets. Or I guess I could board her. Any suggestions? Is it less stressful for the ferret to fly with me, be boarded, or stay in her home with a stranger taking care of her? Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks, melissa [Posted in FML issue 4654]
