To Tracy Bussey: Air shipping a ferret - or any animal - IMHO - is not a good idea. Too many bad experiences have happened. Several months ago, the VP of the LOS in PA had a terrible experience flying her ferret in the cargo hold - I have heard of other horror stories as well. US Air will allow ferrets in the cabin (in approved carriers) w/a health certificate, vaccinations, and a $25 ticket for the ferret. My 2 jills aren't in season yet - I anticipate (hopefully) w/in the next 2 or 3 weeks that will change. If you will be in Syracuse around the end of August, any babies I might have would be around 9 wks old at that point - assuming all goes well and there are no guarantees on that! If you don't mind driving into Rochester from Syracuse, please feel free to contact me and I may be able to help you out. Debbie Riccio WNYFLFA and DJR FERRETS PS: In order for me to sell you a baby in NYS, however, you will need to get a NYS ferret permit - you would need this to travel w/a ferret thur NYS anyway - ie, even if you brought your own ferrets along just to visit w/your family, you would still need a permit to travel w/them in NYS. It's not hard to get one and they only cost $10/year - no limits on the number of ferrets under any 1 permit. [Posted in FML issue 1177]
