In response to Becki's question about youngest age to sell ferrets in MI: From the text of the bill (GCFA - "Off the Paw" Mar/Apr '95) - Sec. 3.(1)(h) A ferret is not sold or offered for sale before the ferret is at least 10 weeks old. Sec. 3.(4) A person who violates this section is guilty of a misdemeanor. I guess you'd report them to Animal Control. BTW, I'm rooting for the MA bill to pass. Any way that us out-of- staters can help on short notice? (Faxing/mailing letters, etc?) Happy ferreting, Denise, plus Rocko and Randall -- /\\ ____ ,^-o, Denise Voskuil - [log in to unmask] ``-,' `-';~~ Brain: "Are you pondering what I'm pondering?" .',-'~`../' Pinky: "I think so, Brain, but if we didn't have `^^ `^^ ears we'd look like weasels."
