Hi - I'm one of those newbies who's thinking of getting a ferret and would like some basic information like handling, care, feeding, etc. Is there some sort of prepared statement you could send me, or some sort of archive of that sort of information? I hate to ask the same old questions to the list if there are other alternatives. [I include these questions each time they go 'round, so that the other newbies get to see it too. The best book is "Ferrets", by Chuck and Fox Morton, Barron's, 1986. The Wendy Winsted book (TFH), I believe also called "Ferrets" is pretty good. Buy either one and read it before you buy. They'll let you know what you're getting yourself into] Thanks, ...eliz [Posted in FML 0188]
