JJ asks about the now humongous kits on the web cam: http://nationalzoo.si.edu/Animals/NorthAmerica/default.cfm?cam=BFF Normally they would be moved to other facilities around the first of October, but this year the transfer has been delayed to mid-month. I don't know if the kits' destination has been determined yet; I should find out next weekend at the Autumn Conservation Festival. <http://nationalzoo.si.edu/ActivitiesAndEvents/Celebrations/ACF/default.cfm> Anyone in the DC, Maryland, Northern Virginia area who wants a lovely family outing should stop by, meet a black-footed ferret and say "hello!" Before Cyan's kits can head out into the wide world, whether it's to another breeding facility or to the conditioning pens in Colorado before being released in the wild, they need names! Like the FML named Peanut last year, we can vote on names with our donations of any amount. Chose up to 6 names from: Teal, Aqua, Baby, Powder, Sky, Navy, Marine, Sapphire, Denim, Indigo, Azure, Cobalt and Turquoise. It's too late to mail me a check, but you can still send Paypal to me at [log in to unmask] and note which name(s) you want to vote for. On Oct 3, I'll give Dr. JoGayle Howard a check for the donations that came in via Paypal as well as the other checks I received. Remember, there will also be a drawing among donors for a stuff BFF toy and lovely 8x10 BFF photos! Linda [Posted in FML 6469]
