There are a wide variety of consequences if your ferret bites someone on your trip ranging from a delay in your trip due to quarantine of your pet to confiscation and euthanasia of your pet. As mentioned, in some areas even if your ferret is properly vaccinated for rabies, he or she could be confiscated if a human is bitten. Therefore, PLEASE be very cautious about who you allow to handle your ferret. We all know that most of these critters are gentle by nature and normally wouldn't think of biting a soul. However, in a strange, potentially frightening situation, or when exposed to certain odors, your pet may behave in a manner that is not expected. In addition to the concerns mentioned you may find yourself liable for medical bills and lost time on your trip if your pet has to be quarantined in the area for 10 days. This same caution goes for cats and dogs as well.

With a little planning and care you can have a great trip with your little friend. Bon Voyage!
