My ferrets came from NJ - I used to live in NJ. When I bought each of them, I was given a license application form with the ferret. When this is sent to the state, they send you an application. The application (5-6 years ago) was for all ferrets you have, and just wanted to know what accomedations you had for the animals (asked you to describe dimensions of cages) how many you had, and other stuff like that. Pretty harmless, and the fee for the license was low - affordable for a college student, even. Just apply and get the darned license, it's not a big deal. *Tigger* [Posted in FML issue 0236]
