We would really hope that you would find a way to keep your ferrets with you. After having them for so long it could be hard on them to adjust to a new home and I am sure they are bonded to you. We have seen many people give up their ferrets after 4-5 years with them and sometimes it is not a good outcome. If you can get into California with them that would be best. We do not suggest that people in California should have ferrets if they are illegal but in your case please do your best to let them live out their lives with you. If you cannot keep them and cannot find them a permanent home we would be glad to take them. We are in Northern Arizona and you may contact us to help any way we can. Good luck, Fran C.
