I read a couple of weeks ago that someone were interested in a Swedish stamp with a pole cat. The stamp has been taken out of use, but it is still possible to buy it from Postens (The Swedish Mails) philatelitic office. The value of the stamp is 3 SEK, which is around 45 cent. The price of the stamp is the same, but to get it you have to pay in advance. There is no problem to send it to the USA, but remeber to make the payment in Swedish crowns or with credit card. Product no: 930310 (Iller) You should send your order to: Posten Frimaerken Kundservice och distribution 981 84 Kiruna To the same address you can send questions if there is something more you would like to know. You can also fax to: +46 980-81490 I think I read something about a new ferret magazine called Modern Ferret. Is there anyone who has the address where to subscribe? Costs? Is it distributed to Europe? I would also need to get in contact with someone in FURO. Is there anyone on the net that could contact me? I would also like to make some comments on descenting, though I'm not going to debate the actual treament. I have read on the net people having ferrets that puffs several times everyday. It sound very strange. The reason to this should either be physical or menthal on the ferret. There is not too uncommon with inflammation of the anal glands. This have the effect that the ferret stinks every now and then. It is though treatable, without removing the glands. I have also noticed that some ferrets, normally menthaly week ones, sometimes have a tendency when coming to new places or whenever something new happends to blow a few bombs. This menthal related behaviour does normally stop with age and good handling of the ferret. I have also experienced stains from "bombs", but I have never had any problem to wash it away, using only normal washing detergent. Greetings from a snowy (still) Stockholm.
