Chris - in reference to the zoo guy and his inaccurate info - get some of the WHAT IS A FERRET? brochures from the AFA. If you call and explain, they might donate a few. These would be good for training people. And the AFA has more technical information regarding vaccines, domesticity, odor control, etc. Also, you can message Dr Hoffman of the AFA via Genie. E-mail the postmaster [[log in to unmask]] and ask for Freddie Hoffman's id number; if I find it I will post it. She knows where a lot of the heavyweight info is because she helped prepare the presentation for the public health symposium last year. Good luck. Remember, ferret enthusiasts will be around and passing out factual ferret info long after this kind of person is in a retirement home slurping cream of wheat ... <Chip> PS The GEnie addressing should work for any subscribers over there.
