born in the wild as a pet or for any purpose, unless he has procured a ferret
permit from the commissioner. A permit must be obtained within ten (10) days

the holder to keep any number of ferrets. If the owner of any ferret uses it
contrary to the provisions of this chapter, the commissioner may revoke his
permit and confiscate all of his ferrets. Each use of a ferret in hunting shall
constitute a separate offense.
The provisions of subsection (1) of this section shall not apply to a ferret which
has been born and raised in captivity nor to a ferret born and raised in captivity
which was obtained from a pet store or private vendor. Except for the
prohibition on using a ferret for hunting, no permit shall be necessary to keep a
