At the moment, Massachusetts is a ferret free zone. BUT! If you work in MA, (depending on WHERE) you can have ferrets in New Hampshire... I live in NH and work in MA... it's a 16 mile commute to Littleton from Nashua, and a 25 mile commute from Nashua to rt. 128 (Interstate 95)... and a mere 50 miles from Boston, of course you'd have to leave pretty early, or very late to get to Boston with any measure of speed due to the traffic which stinks on all of the highways that lead toward, or are within 30 miles of Boston...
