When I go to the vets or a long distance trip with ferrets. I bungie cord strap them into the back seat, floorboards & if needed, the front floorboards. I always put throw rugs there first so as not to get the heated floorboard to heat up the carriers. Put covers over the carriers so the sun doesn't warm them. I had a bigger car once but now have a Honda Civic. I also have on back & front windsheilds, a index card with phone #'s of someone to come & get ferrets if in an accident. First listed are my local vets. If I'm going to say, Fl then I put my Fl vets name & # on it. And people to contact to take in said ferrets if needed. I also have my personal imfo there, as in to call my son. And I've already called whomever I'm visiting & let them know I've departed & what time I should arrive. If I have a delay, I call them. This will help any EMS's or police faster than going thru your wallet. And I've done this for years. -- Sandi Heaven Scent Ferret Rescue/Shelter Dothan,Al 334-873-4065 A 501-3c ,no kill we always need volunteers Its nice to be important, but its more important to be nice [Posted in FML 6073]
