Terms and Conditions

Thank you for choosing Little Dudes Ferret Camp (LDFC) as your ferret(s) surrogate home while you are away.

LDFC will take full responsibility for your ferret(s) while in our care and make sure that he/they are as comfortable as possible. We promise to keep them in safe, clean and in spacious quarters while they are here, play with them and feed them as described by you, the owner. If your ferret(s) becomes seriously ill during his/her stay we will do everything that is necessary to get medical attention at once. We will do everything we can to contact your Veterinarian. In the event it is not prudent to transport your ferret to his own veterinarian or otherwise can not be reached, we will proceed to take your ferret(s), at owners expense, to a veterinarian at the discretion of LDFC. By signing below, you agree, as owner of the above named ferret(s), LDFC representatives have the authority to make any decisions concerning the well being of your ferret(s) in the event that you or your emergency contact cannot be reached.

All ferrets are boarded or otherwise cared for by me without liability on my part for loss or damage from disease, death, running away, theft, fire, injury to persons, other pets, or property by said pet, or other unavoidable causes, due diligence and care having been exercised.

If a ferret(s) arrives at LDFC and is found to have fleas and/or ticks, he/they will be treated at the owner’s expense.

The ferret(s) is not to be taken off the premises except by the consent of the owner.
