  • Laws regarding pet ferrets may change at any time. Data shown should not be considered legally authoritative.
  • Moreover, due to their relative rarity, ferrets may not always be explicitly listed in regulations regarding exotic pets.
  • Finally, ferrets may be regulated at the county, municipal, or local level even when they are legal at the state level. For example, ferrets are broadly legal in New York state, but banned in New York City.
  • In light of these uncertainties, prospective ferret parents are encouraged to confirm legality with local authorities before adopting.
