Our ferret club here in Maryland and a couple other ferret clubs here in Maryland regularly visit P.T. Moran's Pet shops in the Washington Metropolitan Area and take our fuzzies with us. The purpose is to provide information to the public about ferrets and the clubs. We usually take information on ferret care, health, etc. We will take some of the books that are on the market. You might want to obtain a copy of the ferret FAQ from the internet and take copies of that with you. I think it's a great way to promote ferrets. But even more important, you will be able to answer a lot of questions that people ask and maybe promote ferrets as pets to those who really want one and accept the responsibility that goes along with having a ferret. I think it's important for people to know what is involved with ferrets owning us before they get their ferret, instead of after getting them and finding out that they don't want to be bothered. I'm sure you will receive a lot more suggestions than what I have given here. I find everybody on the FML to be very helpful and there is a wealth of knowledge to be gained from everybody. Good luck to you. [Posted in FML issue 1149]
