RE: Border Crossing Keith, I can't tell you exactly what the laws are on bringing ferrets into the USA from Canada. I'm sure someone else will respond to that though :-). I can tell you that ferrets are quite legal in New Brunswick, NJ, and all of the surrounding communities. They are generally well received by the citizens of the area. In fact I live in the next town over, North Brunswick. I don't know why you are coming here...possibly Rutgers College? At any rate, you might want to think about living in one of the surrounding communities rather than New Brunswick if you have that option. Not that New Brunswick is bad, but some of the surrounding towns are towns, not cities. Feel free to contact me via private e-mail for more info on that. As far as vets go, I use the Plainfield Animal Hospital. It is a rather large practice, with 6 vets, and many techs, assistants, etc. They are quite ferret knowledgeable. The thing I like best about them is that they are not "above" calling another vet for a consult if they are stumped, or want to double check something. They have consulted with Drs. Williams, Brown and Kawasaki on my ferrets in the past year. Their fees are fair- they always give you worst case scenarios up front. I am quite happy with them. They are about 1/2 hour from New Brunswick. -Mrs. Duck [Posted in FML issue 1827]
