Hello LIsa, I read your post. Are your ferrets curent on their rabies vaccinations? distemper vaccinations? If so I would suggest you carry a xerox copy of the rabies vaccination form when you are out and about with your "kids". NH Law allows a 45 day quarantine (in home) for vaccinated ferrets if they scratch or nip someone. There is NO LAW requiring ferrets to be in a carrier when outside the home. Please email me privately or call the shelter for more information. (603) 86-4975. Happy ferreting, Alicia a shelter Mom [Posted in FML issue 1955]
