Thanks for the advice.  Jennings is in the St. Louis metro area, although
north of us.
 
I guess my point was that if you are a first time ferret buyer, how do you
know that anything like the American Ferret Association exists, or has
useful information?  For a national organization which seems to be involved
in lots of useful activities, they aren't very visible on our local level.
I know the answer is to volunteer, but right now neither one of us has time!
(Ah, if we only had 48 hour days.  .  .)
 
Dooks to all your ferrets!
