The laws in my country are a bit more soft. I know guys who own pet Spider monkeys. As for pet ferret escaping. That will never happen under my supervision!DavidW;4857776; said:A while ago I was thinking of moving to the Caribbean to live.
Most islands have very strict laws about imported mammals and potential invasive species with strict rabies quarantine etc. I suspect that you will find it either illegal or very difficult to bring in a Ferret. Ferrets can be extremely destructive to local wildlife if they escape.
First you should check with the laws from the Island you want to bring the animal into, see if it is even possible.
From my readings, stuff like that happen because of neglecting the ferret. Also you should never leave a pet unattended with a minor. Same goes for ALL pets. I've heard similar stories about dogs AND cats.svang55;4857864; said:i'm not trolling or anything like that and I always thought about owning some myself but i read an article recently where a pet ferret chewed off a 4 month old babies fingers. the baby was only left with two thumbs and a pinky

At the time I was thinking of moving to Jamaica, they have strict rules about quarantine. Which Island are you on?

Yes the feral ferrets in New Zealand were bred to hunt Rabbits so of course the would survive in the wild, but as the article even states:DavidW;4857863; said:
