Title: Ferret as a passenger
Post by: Copernicus d ferret on July 14, 2016, 09:45:08 PM
No, you heard right.
I want to be able to take my ferret Copernicus with me on my rides.
I was thinking of a leather bottom wire mesh top cage I could strap to the air filter/tank cover.
Has any one taken there ferret for a ride ( so to speak ).
Any advise welcome.
There must be some ferret owners who ride ?

I think you will find that carrying an animal on the tank is illegal, unless its a working dog transiting between properties. So unless its a sheep round up ferret, it will have to ride on the back seat.

A Copper might want to know what kind of therapy a ferret can provide.

In all seriousness, I think he/she will have to go it a topbox arrangement and you communicate via bluetooth.

I think the rules vary from state to state.

Qld banned pets on take a little while ago. I knew a note who rode with a small dog on the tank, (Great chick magnet) but he's not allow to any more.

Tipsy had a modified box strapped to his back seat for his Turvy dog.

The problem with a cage on the tank is in case of accident the cage impacts your chest.

Not something I would do myself.

We did meet an older couple who mounted one of those pet carriers for their little dog instead of modified top case. Seemed to work for them.
