In regards to the cancer survey on other mustelidae, I've never heard about it being much of a problem in otters, though I have no idea about other mustelids. A chat with small mammal curators could be interesting. On another note, I just wanted to check if ferrets are legal in Seattle. I may be going to U of WA for grad school, and that is obviously a big consideration. Thanks. E.S., Hershey and Nestle' [Posted in FML issue 0447]
