Ask what YOU can do for fuzzies! Why not take a little of your weekly cola, snack or cigarette (if you smoke) money and instead, invest in one of the recently published ( and up-to-date) books on ferrets and donate it to your local community library. I recently checked my library to see what was available and they had two copies of the same book, and one of those was the 1988 edition. With their growing popularity, there is a real need to spread the word of domestic ferrets. What better way then to donate for example, a copy of Mary Shefferman's "The Ferret", Gerry Bucsis, et.al.'s "Training your Pet Ferret", and the brand new "Ferrets!" by Karen Dale Dustman, just to name a few. Most of these books cost between $7.00 to $18.00 and would be welcomed at your public library. You could even tape a card or sticker in the book with information about your local ferret club, shelter or organization. Maybe you've gotten an extra ferret book as a birthday gift. Donate it to your library! Don't forget about those ferret videos, too. "Ferrets Unmasked" would be great for someone in your library to be able to check out to learn about ferrets. While you're at it, your county's animal control maybe seeing a growing number of ferrets. Why not send them a copy of a all-about-domestic-ferrets book, also! You'd be surprised (or not) how many animal control officers are afraid of ferrets or how to tell a male from a female. Get them a book and be sure to leave a phone number for a local ferret shelter or club inside the front cover of the book.
