Hi Stacey... >>5. I am not well informed about these ferret shows/exhibitions etc., can someone let me know where/when they are, I would love to get more involved and possibly attend some! Be sure to check out the info on Ferrets 2000 in Toronto at <www.ferretaid.org> Coming up in a couple of weeks! >>8. Who would you say would be the most knowledgeable Ferret Vet/Specialist in North America? (This is a piece of info. I would like to have in my records) Dr. Charles Weiss practices in Maryland Dr. Bruce Williams does research there are a number of others too of course, but those 2 come to my mind right away 9. What type of help can I provide to any of the Ferret Shelters, I do not have a lot of money but would like to be able to help in some way, if possible? A list of many US and Canada shelters is published from time to time thru the FML which lists their needs [Bill--how do you access the most recent one?]; also, if you ask a specific shelter person, they can probably tell you things they need... best wishes!
