Hi Yes there are indeed quite a few ferret people in Japan. As a matter of fact, the Japan Ferret Association even hosts ferret shows over there. : ) Get in touch with the American Ferret Association via Vickie McKimmie ([log in to unmask]) for more information. Happy ferreting! Gina Hart/Sage Ferrets http://www.geocities.com/sageferrets [Posted in FML issue 3027]
