I'd like to extend an invitation to new ferret owners, (and even long time ferret owners) and especially ferret shelters to visit our web page at <http://www.worldpath.net/~chip/fert-man.html> and to download my "The Ferret Owner's Manual." At our shelter, we give out a copy to all new adopters, after going over it page by page. If you have a shelter and are looking for information to give out when people adopt, you have my permission to print out copies and give them to the adoptors. The only things I ask is that you don't sell it, or modify it, or remove my name. If you'd like a "fancy" copy to make your copies from - complete with a photograph of Berret the ferret, and a table of contents - please email me with your snail mail address and I'll send you a reproducible copy.
