Dr. Freddie Ann Hoffman of the American Council on Ferret Health, Welfare and Policy has created a letter you can give your vet to encourage her/him to write to the USDA encouraging them to develop ferret specific regulations. Be sure to let your vet know s/he can write as much or little as s/he has time for; we don't want to discourage writing because they don't have time for a long response! The letter is available on our web site and can be downloaded directly from http://www.ferretcongress.org/USDA/DearDoctor.pdf Please feel free to cross-post widely!
