Becky's description of the "Clear Choice Gate" made it the first gate description to interest Steve and me in a very long while. THANKS, Becky! So, I looked it up for us. You will be startled to find out how widely the prices vary! Some baby products sites sell it "on sale" for a tad shy of $50 while Amazon sells it (from Target Store's mail order) for $15.77. Shipping is about $8 on that. Not bad at all! Lesson: compare, compare, compare. We are interested to see how well this works. If as well as we're hoping then we might get another. --- I had to look these up for someone a couple of day ago so figured I might as well share since they might help others: Oh, and these can be useful: http://ferrethealth.org/vets/ [Following link seems to be timed, so it's now dead. BIG] <http://f1.grp.yahoofs.com/v1/MJTlRk7QXSCtj-zOFQFDyNrFQQLDABVzMI8O469HjDJ8D0IyndJ5rZe7JiDX-nCg0oMGFl2iLCEujefGMptmUQ/comp_pharm.html> When those nasty hurricanes happened in 2005 the rescue organizations badly needed such lists. When there is finally an exotics specialization with testing and accreditation places will be able to use those lists, but for now they need the info from us. (I wish I had time to pull together such updated lists for more states but time is at a premium in recent years. Pam Sessoms follows through on updates for this data. The organization -- by zipcode order -- was requested by two of the rescue organizations in 2005 since that was how they organized things into useful maps during disasters. Luckily, Pam already used that format.) Okay, here is what that off-list person needed a couple of days ago: http://www.ferretemergency.org/ The IFC-FERRET team: http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/IFC-FERT/ <http://www.vin.com/proceedings/Proceedings.plx?CID=DISASTER2006&PID=13558&O=Generic> http://www.avma.org/disaster/default.asp http://www.uan.org/index.cfm?navid=27 http://www.code3associates.org/ <http://www.americanhumane.org/site/PageServer?pagename=pa_disaster_relief> http://www.hsus.org/ http://www.avma.org/disaster/state_pubhealth_vets.asp http://www.avma.org/disaster/state_veterinarians.asp http://www.avma.org/disaster/vmat/ http://www.fema.gov/pdf/nims/508-1_animal_health_resources.pdf http://www.aspca.org/site/PageServer?pagename=edu_resources05 <http://www.aspca.org/site/DocServer/ReadyPets-FINAL_Rev_9_5.03.06_HiRes_for_Printer.pdf?docID=8361> http://www.mcwar.org/articles/tornado/tornado_plain.pdf For NJ specifically: http://www.avma.org/disaster/state_resources/nj.asp <http://www.nj.gov/agriculture/divisions/ah/prog/emergency_preparedness.html> http://www.state.nj.us/njoem/index.html http://www.njvma.org/new/home/default.asp Sukie (not a vet) Recommended ferret health links: http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/ferrethealth/ http://ferrethealth.org/archive/ http://www.afip.org/ferrets/index.html http://www.miamiferret.org/fhc/ http://www.ferretcongress.org/ http://www.trifl.org/index.shtml http://homepage.mac.com/sukie/sukiesferretlinks.html [Posted in FML 5727]
