I can't remember who asked this question, but I spoke to my friend Pegge Clark and this is what she answered: Anyway in answer to the question, when I had only two ferrets I used to take them to the states often and never had any problems at the border. It is important to have distemper and rabies papers, but sometimes it wasn't even asked for. On one occasion, Cricket and Sharkee were peeking out the window and the customs official held us up asking lots of friendly questions about them. The people in the car behind us must have thought we were in some kind of trouble because he kept us there for ten minutes. He didn't ask anything about the humans. Hope this is helpful, and enjoy your stay in Montreal, it is a beautiful city!! marion houle [Posted in FML issue 2386]
