Hello everyone, I have many many questions regarding international travel with ferrets, as I wasn't able to find a lot of content online that touched specifically on my needs. I would appreciate if any of you with such experience could shoot me an email or give a reply to the list. :) I will be visiting Finland this summer to visit my SO out there, and currently have 3 critters and many questions arising with what to do. While I would love to take them, I'm not entirely sure it's an option that's available to me, mainly because of how airlines function and the like. Has anyone here travelled overseas for a period of time and taken their ferrets? If so, did you ship them in cabin (no longer available from what I understand), as checked baggage, or in cargo? What was your experience? How did you prepare at the destination and how long did it last? If we go this route, I would imagine we'd have to prepare by having a cage available there and all that mumbo jumbo. Finland is also very ferret friendly from what I have found and been told, and are perfectly willing to accept them into the country with proof of health and whatnot as per their rules and regulations. That brings me to my next question, which is what to do if I cannot take them. The stay will be approx. 1 month, and I'm worried about boarding them for that long. Has anyone ever done this as well? One of the three is also not in the best health unfortunately, and she's an old old little girl (about 7 years currently) so I'm not sure travel is the way to go. Anyways, I appreciate any help in advance. Thanks! :) -- Lin M. [Posted in FML 6967]
