Hi all!! I don't live in Kunming, so I am looking for anyone who can help me.

I am looking for pet store in Kunming, specifically ones that sell ferrets. I know that they are quite popular as pets, and I have seen them in other pet stores around the country.

Any thoughts or ideas on location would be greatly appreciated!!

Cheers

There is a ferret shop on BeiMen Street 北门街. Opposite Junyuan. The shop has been there for several years so i guess ferrets are popular here too!

Yeah, I spotted the ferret shop on Beimen Jie just the other day, it's not far from the new Irish pub. The ferrets look pretty well taken care of (surprising for China!) with lots of accessories and food etc for sale.

It's the only place I've seen ferrets in Kunming. They don't have them at the Bird and Flower Market as far as I know.

Awesome thanks guys!!

Surprisingly enough, I've seen that most shops that sell ferrets take very good care of them and they are generally spayed/neutered and come with passports. There are the exceptions though.

Thanks a million for your help!

I'm actually thinking of getting one, so let me know how it goes :)

This market also has a lot of pet stores, but can't recall if I saw ferrets. It's also further out of town.

@Alex, they do have them.

Anyone been to Yuanbo recently? Have the conditions improved at all?

We bought 2 ferrets from the ferret store which is like 2 streets from Green Lake (it's pretty much next door to the new O'Reilly's Bar). We've had them for 1 year and the other for a half year.

It's a very good store, ferrets are chipped and have passports that also list all information including innoculations. They also give advice on handling and taking care.
Products and food can be ordered from their website and delivered to you within 2 days. Or you can get tons of stuff from taobao. Either way, it may actually be the only professional store in town that focusses solely on ferrets.

Thanks for the info Silvio. Can you remember how much they were?
