Hi Guys, My name is Tracy Godsey, and I am a freelance writer conducting research for an article for Ferrets USA. The feature story that I've been assigned is to talk to as many newer ferret owners (people who have only owned ferrets for a year or two) as I can about their fuzzies. Some of the things I need to know include: what drew them to ferrets (as opposed to a non-exotic pet like a dog or cat), if owning a ferret has been what they expected, etc. If any of you are interested in talking to me (via e-mail), I would love to interview you. I will be using some direct quotes from a few people, and hopefully photos of the people with their fuzzies. Of course, anyone who lives in a city or state where ferrets are banned, I will keep them anonymous. I'm hoping to talk to enough people to get a sort of a survey/overview. My e-mail address is [log in to unmask] Thanks, Tracy [Posted in FML issue 4560]
