I have a few questions for Juan Manuel who asked a question about vaccines in issue 1300: first, since you mention ferret vets in Mexico I assume that means there are ferrets in Mexico as well. How popular are they and are they kept as pets or for hunting? Are they legal in all states and is it easy to transport them from the US to Mexico, say, for a vacation? Are the ferrets there generally bred there or are they Marshall farms ferrets? Where can they be purchased? And my final question is: What are they called in (Mexican) Spanish? My husband is Mexican and I have a hard time explaining to his family what my funny pet is. I have just referred to him as a "comadreja" (weasel). The dictionary I have refers to ferrets as "huron" and to hunting with ferrets as "huronear". Me daria mucho gusto comunicarme con Ud. sobre el tema de las "viboras peludas" y espero su respuesta!!! Gracias!! L.A.P. (pocha) y Oskar(el pulgoso) [Posted in FML issue 1308]
