Hello, I'm french , so be indulgent with my english. My preoccupation is the vaccination. In France we don't have the problems you have. No interdiction to have a ferret , they are considered as domestic animal. But we MUST vaccine them against the rabies and i've heard there is a doubt about the efficacity of the vaccination. If the vaccin isn't valuable the problem begin. And we MUST identify him , but it's a problem.For cats and dogs , farmes animal the autorities got a register , but for the ferrets ? The worst in France it's not the law ,it's the lack of knowledge ( most ferrets are hunter's animals ,they never go out and they feed them like they want , because they say "I know" ) , the lacks of vets (mine phone to the labs for medications , but at least he does an affort to learn) , the lack of material : I like my ferret , but I don't consider them as children , a lot of american are excessive when they love an animal.I'm sensitive to animals suffering ( we have adopted 4 cats and one ferret , recued from a bad pet store ) , but I find some persons spoil them and a ferret like to be quiet. I don't want to buy all the gadget , they don't care , but the basics as vitamines , Nutrical , and i can't find them. Myriam Pollet France [Posted in FML issue 2023]
