in Calgary. A *ZOO* contacted our Ferret Club looking for two domestic ferrets for their education program. We are trying to assist them by locating privately owned domestic ferrets or rescues or shelters that can supply them for a reasonable cost will be considered. The only concern is being able to examine them before recommending them for adoption. It would be preferable to find ferrets close enough that we can examine them before agreeing to take them (i.e. Central-Southern Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, northern Washington, northern Idaho, and northern Montana). I'd rather not drive more than a few hours, but we could arrange a weekend visit, or even meeting half-way would be a great help. They will be well cared for, and the docents and keepers are well acquainted with domestic ferrets as they recently had to put their last pair to sleep due to old age and disease. 1) They are looking for two younger bite/nip trained ferrets (or close to it). The animals will have to be quarantined for 30 days so they can work further on bite training should it be required. 2) Would like younger ferrets, but if older bite/nip trained ferrets are available they would consider it. 3) Vaccinations, spayed/neutered would be an asset, but not required. 4) The ferret facilities at the zoo are currently established with two seperate cages, but it would be preferable that the ferrets get along, then they can share a larger home. 5) The zoo is hoping to locate ferrets very soon as the 30 day quarantine period adds to the delay in their education programs. REMEMBER THESE FERRETS WILL BE EXPOSED TO SMALL CHILDREN AND MUST REMAIN CALM IN UNFAMILIAR SURROUNDINGS.
