Is it possible to safely ship a ferret from Texas to Michigan? What ways could it be done -- via plane, train, etc.? What's the safest way, and what is the cheapest way, and what is the safest cheap way (pardon the odd syntax)? A woman is adopting out four of her six ferrets because of a landlord dispute, and consequently, we are looking into adopting one of them: an adorable DEW male. Delta quoted her $100 cargo shipping, but a) that seems rather expensive and b) unsafe -- wasn't Delta the airline on which a cat got loose in the cargo hold and they didn't stop to look for it (because they said they had to keep to their flight schedule) when they landed until a court order several days later -- luckily the cat was ok. Anyways, short of driving down to TX (which we can't do), is there any safe way we can get Casper without spending a horrendous amount of money? Martin and Anna G.
