How are ferrets illegal in california?

It’s almost my birthday and I’m getting either a chinchilla or ferret. But I want something that likes to play and eventully cuddle with me (: But Chinchillas are little haters and don’t like to do either so I was looking more into Ferrets. I live in California where I’ve been told many times that they are illegal, but I just saw a sign in a pet store that said they sell ferrets and ferret toys. Not a little ghetto place where they are sold illegally, but PetSmart. So are they illegal? Or can I own one with a license?

Answer #8

In Cali ferrets have been declaired a wild animal, which is a total joke because they are a completely human bread animal that couldn’t hardly survive on its own given all the problems many females have with reproduction, all the organ problems they have etc.

To go a ferreting was a roman phrase (used to describe hunting weasles and other small game with ferrets) and I forget who, but we have human accounts of using them and breeding them from before then as well.

With an exotic pet license I am sure you could get one and you might be able to get one in your county somehow due to a local law.

Unless they have very recently changed the state law, I am pretty sure they are still a wild animal there…somehow…somehow.
