If you’re an Aussie ferret owner, be warned that you won’t be able to bring your ferret into Tasmania unless you have a permit.
I believe you can get one by contacting the equivalent of the Parks & Wildlife Service in your State. I’ve heard it doesn’t cost anything to get the permit and once you’ve filled out the paper work, the permit is issued pretty quickly.
I wonder why they’ve started to get tough on bringing ferrets into Tasmania. I know that you have to show any ferret brought into Western Australia to AQIS so that they can confirm it’s not a weasel.
A weasel? We don’t have weasels anywhere in Oz! Still, once the AQIS officer is happy you have a ferret, then you are free to take your baby home.
So much red tape and it probably won’t get easier as the years go on!
