Unfortunately I can't add much more to the pro side of the Modern Ferret arguement, but something I noticed about Critters USA is that (ferret pictures at least as far as I know) a lot of their pictures come from other sources. Good example: cover photo of Critters USA looks very suspiciously like one of the pictures from the '95 Ferret Calender. If you don't have any other reason to like Modern Ferret, at least they take their own (in a manner of speaking, I know that they have a photographer on staff) pictures just for the magazine. To me that shows another way that they care about ferrets and making a good ferret magazine. I don't know about you all, I've tried to take pictures of my gang and I sure as heck couldn't imagine the work and patience it must have taken to get the last cover shot. Give the staff of MFM credit for that if you can't say anything else positive about them. Laura [Posted in FML issue 1397]
