Good day dear people, The book was ordered and on its way. But in no way did it cost near $23 even including postage. There are a number of copies on the used book market. Here are two excellent sites to use to find used books http://dogbert.abebooks.com/abe/ http://powells.com (this one also carries new copies.) *sigh of relief and tears of joy* Eppy is home. Hooray. About IDing ferrets. They can get microchips or even a single tattoo in the ear. Ferret Good Mommy [Posted in FML issue 3682]
