Well, sorry to say it was extremely indepth when I submitted it. I don't recall how long it was at that time - I'm thinking over 7,000 words. However, they limited the article to 3,500 words and cut out all the "depth". Can't win 'em all, but I hear there's a really great book out there that covers just about everything you could possibly want to know about ferrets ;-) Kim Schilling Director, Animals for Awareness Author, Ferrets for Dummies ----------------------------- Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2001 09:53:56 -0700 From: Jeff Allen <[log in to unmask]> Subject: ASCPCA Animal Watch I don't know if anyone has brought this up or seen this, but the Fall issue of "ASCPCA: Animal Watch - Dedicated to the protection of all animals" has a cover story on Ferrets. It's nott to indepthful, but it does go into the pros and cons of owning a ferret. [Posted in FML issue 3540]
