anonymous, please. Ferrets are also illegal in Hawaii. This is one state where this is probably a good idea though. Many of the native species have either been made extinct or severely impacted by the (often well intentioned) introduction of foreign species. My ferret came to me in a sort of round-a-bout way; originally brought here by someone from a mainland college who found they could not keep them at home when they returned. I received her indirectly through a third person. Actually, I would consider putting her up for adoption to a good home in some ferret-legal state if I could be sure that animal quarantine here would allow her to be sent to a destination of my choice.
