Anyone coming into California with ferrets pay attention!!! The Agricultural inspection stations at Blythe, Needles, and Yermo. (These are the main arteries coming into the state from anywhere in Arizona and Las Vegas) Are opening back up to private vehicles. Needles has been up and running for a couple of months. These stations have been closed to private vehicles for a few years because of cutbacks. No longer. Rescue has picked up numerous ferrets, hedgehogs, sugar gliders, Quaker parrots, and a raccoon in the last few months. Please Please Please!!! take care of your animals if you are coming into CA. If you go to the Ferrets Anonymous website, _www.ferretsanonymous.com_ (http://www.ferretsanonymous.com) And click on "Avoid the checkpoints," there are directions around the Ag Stations.
