Surrendering

The decision to surrender your ferret can be a difficult one, and the reasons for having to do so are very different. If you are thinking of surrendering your ferret, please contact us. We will assist you with any questions you may have about the process, and after discussing your situation with you may be able to provide you with some new options.

If you decide to surrender your ferret to Oxford, you will need to sign our surrender form.

To make the transition as un-stressful as possible for your ferret:

• Surrender your ferret's belongings with them since these items are familiar to them.
• Bring some of your ferret's food so that if we need to change the food, we
  may do so slowly, reducing the chance of a ferret ulcer or stomach ache.
• Keep cagemates together; if you surrender your ferrets together they will be kept in the same foster home and adopted out together as a pair or group.
