Good afternoon. I'm wondering if anyone has information on a ferret breeder in South Africa. (Cape Town preferably) I have looked everywhere and cannot seem to find even one ferret for sale. I am on my wits end and really want to give one a loving home. Even if it's a rescue I don't mind.

I really don’t know, most of us are from either America or Europe. I do think you need an exotic animal permit in Africa to get one, but don’t know how to acquire it. Here in the US, the stores selling ferrets hand out the application for permits like candy, and I kind of wish they didn’t, as they’re harder to keep than cats and dogs. Maybe try calling up exotic vets in your area and asking if they know where their clients are getting ferrets. If no one in your area sees ferrets regularly enough to know, you might want to reconsider owning one in your area, as they require extensive vetting in their senior years usually, which starts at age five. Even here, a lot of us travel an hour or more to get to a good vet who sees them.
