Ferrets or at least my ferrets love to travil. In fact next month we are doing a 1300 mile road trip each way. If you get ferrets in a neighboring state you better get them old enough to have the rabies vaccine. If a ferret is found in CA with out it they will euthanize it. ^^^^^^^^^ I think that's a real word! :) > What are the borders like?

Even if you did pick one up in a ferret freindly state and flew him to CA, it will be picked up at the airport when you land. Do not try to fly them in. > How would these same hypothetical ferrets handle the airplane? > > How do airlines react to ferrets? > Some or should I say very few will let you fly with ferrets.

I am originaly from the Boston area so I know how they treat ferrets. That is why I'm driving them up there next month and not flying.

Yes you should avoid foods that the main source of protiens is fish. Hill's Science Diet, IAMS, Pro-Plan are good foods. There are others but I can't think of their names off hand. Kitten foods for ferrets younger than 3 or 4, maintance cat foods for older ferrets. > I hope this all makes sense - today has not been a good day. > Jan - GDFA Sorry to hear of your loss.
