Great idea!  For general ferret information, you can print a small FAQ from
Ferret Central at http://www.ferretcentral.org

That is totally a MF thing.  Other breeders may use two dots in the
opposite ear, one dot, a dot in each ear, a dot between the toes, a dot or
two on the inner thigh, etc, but the MF dots are MF dots.  Not too many
breeders would want their ferrets mistaken with MF ferrets.  Not that MF
ferrets are bad, but it is difficult enough to track ferrets that you have
bred let alone ones you haven't.

This is very false.  Bob Church has done wonderful investigating,
experimenting, and sharing to change this misinformation.  BIG - please
tell us again where Bob C's Diet 101 can be gotten .  .  .
 
>What rice box idea
 
This is easy & fun!  Clear (colored is ok, but not as fun to watch) big
storage box (the deeper the better!) and bags of rice!  Empty rice in box
(about 1/2 way full) and turn fuzzheads loose in the box to dig until they
are pooped - or until they poop in the box!  Just don't eat the rice out of
the box ...  you may gee brown rice that was supposed to be white rice.
