Frequently Asked Questions: Adopting a GFX Ferret |
| Availability |
 Kits -
The breeding season begins in early spring and goes through early summer, often Feb - July. Pet quality jill kits on spay contracts are
made available to their new homes at 12 weeks of age. Hob kits will normally be available between 12-16 weeks of age though some hob kits
may be held back until 20 weeks of age.
Adolescents and Adults - Early in the breeding season, we may choose to hold back more kits than we ultimately intend to keep for the breeding program. Some of these older kits and/or retired adults will be listed for adoption throughout the year. |

 Waiting List - GFX Ferretry keeps a waiting list of approved prospective homes for our litters. Look around the site,
if you like what you see and would like to be added to our waiting list, please fill out our adoption application. Once approved, we
will place you on our waiting list and let you know when we have someone who may fit your needs. A deposit is not necessary to be
placed on the waiting list.
Application - The adoption application gives us an opportunity to get to know you and your family better so that we can select the best ferret for your household. No one answer is more correct than any other, be honest with your responses so you can be matched with the right individual.

Shipping Enough people have asked us about shipping that we've decided to come up with a policy. Often someone who wants a GFX ferret lives far enough away that visting the ferretry or picking the kit up at a show isnt an option. We strongly encourage you to come to the ferretry or meet us at a show, but when that's not possible, we will consider shipping your ferret by Delta in-cabin transport where available. The cost for this service is normally between $350 - $550 and is highly dependant on if I have time available to fly your ferret to you and if you live somewhere I want to go. GFX ferrets do not fly unattended under any circumstances. |
