Take some of them in early; don't let any of them go longer than a year.  As
long as it's been a month since the last shots, it's fine to have another
set.  So this coming February, you could just take everyone in at once.

Food mixtures you make yourself.  There's one recipe for a "Duck Soup" in
the FAQ (see my signature), and a number of variations listed at
 
http://www.us.itd.umich.edu/~squirty/hp/pets/recipes.html
 
It's a good idea to introduce your ferret to it while she's healthy, so
she'll accept it more readily when the need arises.  In general, you only
need to use it when your ferret needs to put on a bit of weight or isn't
eating enough to get the nutrition she needs, but a little bit as a treat is
fine.
 
>2. Is there any sort of internet site with Photos and ID of the various
>breeds of Ferret that I can view?
 
There aren't really different breeds of ferrets (except perhaps angoras),
but there are different colors and patterns.
