Well, first, and most obviously I'm sure you know to check with the camping park if pets are allowed. You may even want to tell them you have ferrets but that they will be caged or leashed and have had all of their shots up to date. I think most places you don't have to mention you have ferrets unless it's a closely patrolled and tight-butted place. It goes without saying to make sure your ferret is up to date on shots and bring the papers or tags that prove they've had a rabies immunization. That's just for your own protection just in case something bizarre happens like some wierdo reaches for your baby and the ferret licks them and they scream bloody murder. Distemper is the most important shot to have though. Protect them with Revolution or something for heartworm, fleas, etc.. Nowadays, it's only like 15 bucks a pack for a dose that can protect a couple ferrets for one month. Far cry from the 50 bucks it was ten years ago. Very safe too. Bring leashes with iron clad halters. A play pen and/or a cage. And all of your supplies such as food, water, dishes, bedding, toys. Unless you sit right there with your babies, I'd not leave them in a play pen, ya know? They can figure ways out to escape that they never have before with all of the temptation around not to mention an open pen leaves them vulnerable to people, loose dogs, and other animals. I'd not leave them loose in your tent. Tents are just not made well enough to withstand digging and chewing that a ferret can do. For me, all of that is just rote and common sense. The hardest thing to control and watch is the weather/temperature. Go at a time of year where the temps do not get much about 80-85 degrees. And make sure you have lots of shade where you will be staying. That can be difficult, I mean most of the time of year that people like to go camping the temps go up to 90 and above. Boy other than that, have fun. We bring ours all of the time. We usually do not have them stay over night with us, so we just bring a pen, not a cage and always supervise them. Oh don't forget your camera! [Posted in FML 5955]
