Hi Devin :) I am also in Texas and getting ready to move back to Indiana :) The weather change will be fine for your Kids :) They are going to LOVE the snow :) There are no longer any airlines which allow ferrets to ride in the Cabin, BUT they will allow them to ride in Cargo. I know Delta has a program called Delta Dash and it gets your kids there in the quickest time possible. If you can find a direct flight for yourself I believe they can ride in YOUR Plane's cargo as well but not 100% sure. <http://www.delta.com/business_programs_services/delta_cargo/cargo_flight_availability/cargo_products_services/delta_dash/index.jsp> I used Delta Dash years ago (Litteraly like 10 yrs ago) and they were good. You put your kids in an approved Cage with food and water, and they get them to you. I know there are quite a few people who have flown their ferrets places so I hope others will chime in. And of course there is the driving them up alternative. Good Luck, Staci L. Sharp [Posted in FML 6427]
