>Can any one recomend a good specialized Vet book on ferret. A good ferret book for you Japanese vets would be Biology and Diseases of the ferret by James G Fox ISBN 0812111397 I found it after looking though the Washington State U Library catalog. Hopes that helps. I was at an Eagle HHardware store and notice some tubes that would be much better that dry tubes. They were sold in 10' sections. i think they were meant for sewer or drainage pipes or something. they are black and made of hard ribbed plastic with slots in them. The 10' sections were under $5 and you could get T connectors so you could cut on section and make a nice sized pipe for you fuzzies.
