Hi there, I just renewed my ferret license in NYS; this is the third time I've sent $10 up to Albany to keep my fuzzies legal for the following year. Generally, they send me a bill when my old license is near to expiring. So at least these last few years, annual renewal has been a standard thing. Cheers, Pyrophage, in NYC with 3 other humans, 2 iguanas, 1 python, 1 guinea pig, and two teleporting ferrets (Tempest and Wednesday). [Posted in FML issue 1183]
