"Hi there! I'm Fran Friedman from Morning Star Animal Sanctuary and I am here to talk to you about why you might have to travel with your ferret on behalf of expertvillage.com. Some of the reasons why you have to travel with your ferret and the obvious one is definitely taking your ferret to the vet for his yearly vaccinations or if he is not feeling well and you just want the vet to see him, definitely you will have to travel with your ferret whether it be warm or cool outside. So you definitely want to prepare for something like that. Another reason why you might have to travel is many ferrets do bond very closely with their owners and when they are left behind for a period of time, even if it is a caring pet sitter or relative, they tend to get very stressed, they will stop eating, they sometimes show symptoms of diarrhea and lethargy. Some times your ferret does better if you pack them up and do everything you have to do properly and take them with you. If you have to take your ferret with you, make sure you have everything that is going to meet the needs of the ferret in the new place and things that are familiar with your ferret. Some people want to have some enjoyment time with their ferret outside, so if you have to go outside with your ferret, there are certain things that you will need. Perhaps a harness and different play toys. Things to keep them in a safe area and make sure the environment is safe for your ferret."
