>SINCE THE ISSUE has once again been brought up I would like to invite the

>ANY VOLUNTEERS FOR COORDINATING this data??? I think we will all be

STAR* is gathering this kind of data annually with the survey distributed in
the newsletter, as well as on the FML and mailed to the non-vet resources on
the database. But I can't get a good reading if people do not pay attention
to tattoos or ages of ferrets when surgery happens.
All ferret owners should consider having a notebook to input every pet's
milestones, shot records and surgeries. STAR* is planning on distributing
TWO surveys this year - one for shelters and people who want to be on the
STAR* database, and one for owners to give flesh to the question "how many
ferrets ARE out there?"
look for these surveys in December.

>Subject: Please help
>I never liked to beg, but it has come to the point where I'm getting down on
>my knees and begging for your help.... Our shelter is penniless. We
>currently have 160 ferrets in our shelter, around 50 in need of adrenal
>surgery.
If you would be so kind as to find out how many of these adrenal ferrets are
Marshall Farms, and list their ages, and e-mail me the information, I would
be willing to make a contribution for their recovery. Angela never fills out
the STAR* survey...

>Subject: FOG - brochures
Deena - you are welcomed to use parts of the text in the _Ferret Care and
Rescue_ book from STAR*. I can't remember if you ordered it with your
subscription or not...

>Subject: Chocolate sustacal?
Chocolate Sustical is fine. It is really cocoa, not chocolate. Glad the
sick little bugger like it. ferrets need a minimum of 60 cc's sustenance to
survive, ad the more food you can get down the better.
>From: Chris & Shelley Knudsen <[log in to unmask]>
>Subject: FAQ revisions
>Just another suggestion for the FAQ revisions. What about putting in a
>section on how to start a ferret shelter, or a ferret club?
STAR* has this information available - the club start pamphlet is free and
can be e-mailed (I meant to do this to several subscribers and their
addresses got away from me). The shelter start up kit does have a price
tag, but it costs $2.00 just to mail it!
For any information about starting any ferret service, contact STAR* Ferrets,
PO Box 1714, Springfield, VA 22151-0714.
