Hi all, I'm moving to New York City in the fall, and I'm taking Puck, my silver mitt ferret and Oliver, my hedgehog, with me. However, I have heard that New York City is not a "ferret-friendly" place. Can anyone give me any more information about this? I've read that ferts aren't technically "illegal" but that you may need a permit? Is this true? Please write me with any information that any of you have--especially if you live in New York City! Is it hard to find pet stores with ferret supplies in New York? Please help! Also, one other question--Puck is a Peterson ferret. What kind of reputation does Peterson's have? Is it anything like the Marshall Farm debate? He's 3 months old and healthy as a horse so far--the vet says he's the friendliest and heathiest little guy she's seen in a while. Any information would be appreciated. Feel free to email me at my address with any replies to my queries. Thanks in advance--this list has really helped me as a new ferret owner!
