surrendering a ferret
I suggest you do a reference check on any shelter you are thinking of taking your ferret to. To do that go on line to www.supportourshelters.org. They have a list of shelters who are a part of their orginization. You can also go to www. ferrret.org for the American Ferret Association and see if the shelter you are considering is on their list. They are a national association for ferrets and most shelters apply to be on their list. If you do not see the shelter you are looking for on their list you can email them and ask if they have any information about that shelter. To Surrender a ferret, contact the shelter at 801-.695-2069 or 801-603-5012. You can bring the ferret to the shelter, we can meet you half way or you can call for a pick up. .Your friend will be well taken care of and we will work hard to find them a "Forever Home". If you have any questions, Please feel free to contact us anytime. Don't let anyone put your ferret down for lack of Help, WE CAN HELP!!!

Ferret Supply List
These are things you should have on hand before you adopt a ferret. Cage - minimum size for 1 ferrets with, lots of out of cage time, 3'x2'x3', with at least two levels. Lots of out of cage time, at least 3-6 hours a day, if you can’t do that, buy a bigger cage. They need at the very least 2 hours a day out of cage. 2 Hammocks, 1-2 sleep sacks, 1-2 blankets, 2 litter boxes, one in cage, one out of cage. Litter, preferably wood pellets or alfala pellets. Ferret Food, not cat or dog food (you can buy my food mix, if you want) I use Totally Ferret, Zupreem, 8 and 1 Ultimate. Any of these are good foods, but I do recommend that you mix at least two types of food. 2- ferret dishes that attach to side of cage, one water, one food. They are famous for dumping bowls that do not attach to cage. 1 – Water bottle (optional) Ferretone, Ferretlax or Laxatone, Nutra Cal, Nail clippers, Ear cleaning solution and q-tips, Toys: - No rubber, plastic or items that can be chewed up. They love bennie babies, paper bags, cat teasers, small stuffed animals, tunnel tubes or dryer ducting tubing, balls, cardboard boxes, etc. Be creative! They will even play with a crumpled up piece of paper!
For new ferret owners I would sujest getting The simple guide to ferrets and ferrets for dummies they can be baught at any book store near you.
